You can store the result of algorithm flow or the Reader to a dataset table.

To write the output data to a template table, follow the steps given below.

1. Build your algorithm flow. Refer to Building Algorithm Flow in a Workflow Canvas.
2. Run your algorithm flow. Refer to Running a Workflow.
3. Use the drag-and-drop method to insert the TemplateTable node from the Task Pane into the canvas.
   
   
   
   
4. Connect the source node (node whose data you want to write to a table) to the TemplateTable node.
   
   
   
   

   In the image above, the node Sorting is connected to the TemplateTable node. The result of Sorting will be written to TemplateTable.

5. From the Properties pane, select the configuration settings for the TemplateTable.
   
   

   The table given below describes different fields present in the properties of TemplateFile.

   Field	Description	Remark
   Task Name	It displays the name of the selected task.	You can click the text field to edit or modify the name of the task as required.
   Drop and Create	It allows you to determine whether to drop an existing table.	If selected, the existing table schema is dropped, and a new table schema is created.
   Select Dataset	It allows you to select the dataset in which you want to create the table.	You can select RDBMS or ODBC datasets that are available at the Workspace level.
   Table Name	It allows you to enter the name of the table you want to create.	If a table with the same name exists, then either data is added to it, or a new table is created.
   Select Strategy	It allows you to select the operation you want to perform on the table.	The available options are – Insert – Insert data into the table. Update – Update existing data. Delete – Delete data from the table. Tag Driven –  Performing either Insert, Update, or Delete For more info, Refer Updating Template Table Using WSTag Insert Else Update – If the record does not exist, the function inserts a new record with the specified data. If the record does exist, the function updates the existing record with the new data. Update Else Insert – If the record exists, the function updates the existing record.
   Select Key Columns	It allows you to select the primary key of the table.	It is applicable only to Update and Delete operations. It is NOT applicable to Insert operation.

6. If you want to create a new table, select the Drop and Create checkbox, else clear it.
7. From the Select Dataset drop-down, select the name of the dataset in which you want to create the table.
8. Enter Table Name. If a table by this name exists in the dataset, then based on the option selected in step 6, either data is added to the existing table, or a new table is created.
9. From the Select Strategy drop-down, select the operation you want to perform. The options are – Insert, Update, and Delete.

10. If you select Update or Delete option in step 9, select the primary key from the Select Key Columns drop-down.

    Note:

    You can select more than one column if the combination of these columns forms a Primary Key at the table level. If you select Tag Driven Strategy, select the primary key from the Select Key Columns drop-down and select the tag column from Select Tag Column

11. To run the TemplateTable node, click the ellipsis on the TemplateTable node, and then click Run.
    After a successful run, a table with Table Name is created (or updated, based on the operation selected by you) in the dataset specified by Dataset Name.
