Creating New Tables in IRI Workbench
This article demonstrates how to use IRI Workbench to facilitate the creation of new relational database tables for database schema management, database data migration tools like IRI NextForm, or other IRI management product operations such as:
IRI FieldShield to read flat-file or table data, mask it, and write it into new tables IRI CoSort to wrangle data and populate staging tables for ETL or wrangled views for analytics IRI RowGen to subset data, or synthesize data from scratch, into empty tables based on DDL info IRI Voracity to extract, transform, and load data from existing sources to new targetsThanks to the enhanced Data Tools Platform (DTP) interface, IRI Workbench users can easily create and use Structured Query Language (SQL) to build tables and run SQL jobs.
