The unpacking and loading of a generic database can be done with a generic prefix.
Generic databases / data sources contain structured repetitive data, for example, an address list or a product spec sheet where entities are repeatedly described along similar attributes.
Syntax:
Generic( loadstatement | selectstatement
)
For more information about using LOAD statements, see
Load.
For more information about using SELECT statements, see Select.
Examples:
Generic
LOAD * from abc.csv;
Generic
SQL SELECT * from table1;
Tables loaded through a generic statement are not auto-concatenated.
