Options for loading data into Studio

You can load data into Studio by either creating a new data set or updating a data set.

There are four data loading operations:
  • Loading a file to create a new data set.
  • Loading a JDBC data source to create a new data set.
  • Reloading a file to update the data set.
  • Reloading a JDBC data source to update the data set.

Here is the typical workflow of loading a data set and reloading it in the Catalog before you add it to a project:

In this workflow, the following actions take place:
  1. You load a data set from a file or JDBC data source. This is the initial load of the data set into the Catalog.
  2. Reload the data set as necessary.
  3. Explore the data and add it to a project if you want to use Transform and Discover. If you transform or fully load a data set in a project, the data set is now private to the project.
