The CData Excel Add-In for IBM Cloud Data Engine enables you to persist schema definitions to configuration files. Schema files make it easy to customize and save the dynamically detected schemas, or to define your own view of the data.

You can invoke the CreateSchema stored procedure to manually generate a schema file based on the provided input parameters. This is particularly useful in situations where the name of the file in CloudStorageObject does not have (the correct) file extension.

After creating a schema, you may use the name of the generated file to query from that view.
