Overview of SPL2 dataset functions
There are two types of dataset functions:
- Generating dataset functions are functions that create events to form a dataset
- Sink dataset functions are functions that consume events from a dataset
Some dataset functions can be used with any generating command. Other dataset functions are designed to be used only with a specific command.
Dataset function | Description | Function type |
---|---|---|
indexes | Use this function to map to the indexes that you have permission to access.
This function is used with any generating command, such as the from, join, and union commands. |
