  • Patent number: 12153577
    Abstract: Enabling editable tables on a cloud-based data warehouse including receiving, by a query manager, a client-provided table; receiving, by the query manager from a query manager client, a request to create a referencing worksheet using, as data sources, the client-provided table and a database table on a cloud-based data warehouse; storing, by the query manager, the client-provided table in the schema storage location on the cloud-based data warehouse, wherein the schema storage location is a storage location on the cloud-based data warehouse to which the query manager has read and write access, and wherein the database table is external to the schema storage location; generating, by the query manager, a database query to create the referencing worksheet, wherein the database query targets the client-provided table in the schema storage location and the database table; and issuing, by the query manager, the database query to the cloud-based data warehouse.
