Import a Table

You can import one or more tables from relational sources into the Alteryx Analytics Cloud.

Note

When you import a file, the data is not stored in the Alteryx Analytics Cloud. What you create is an imported dataset, which is simply a reference to the source of the data. The Alteryx Analytics Cloud never stores or modifies source data.

Steps:

  • From the menu bar, select Data page.

  • From the left sidebar in the Import Data page, select the connection to the relational datastore where your data is located.

  • Browse the relational datastore to locate the table that you wish to import.

    Note

    You must have read permissions on any database and table that you wish to import.

  • Create Dataset with SQL: You can apply a custom SQL statement to import from a database. For more information, see Create Dataset with SQL.

  • When you are ready to complete the import process.

  • Your tables are available as imported datasets.

For more information, see Import Data Page.
