From Object Storage vs From MPP Catalogs¶

The Create Base View dialog for the Embedded MPP data source offers two options: From Object Storage and From MPP Catalogs:

• From Object Storage: is the default option to use. It allows to explore the different routes defined on the Read & Write tab and create base views for the desired folders.

• From MPP Catalogs: is an advanced option that allows to access external catalogs that have been defined on the Denodo Embedded MPP cluster. This option allows to access tables registered in other catalogs like AWS Glue Data Catalog, Unity Catalog or Snowflake Open Catalog. See section External Metastore of the MPP Guide for more information.
