DB Sampling

This node sample rows from a database table. The dialog enables you to specify the number of rows so sample and the sampling strategy. The following options are available in the dialog:

Options

Absolute
Specify the absolute number of rows in the sample. If there are less rows than specified here, all rows are used.
Relative
The percentage of the number of rows in the database table to extract. Must be between 0 and 100, inclusively.
Take from top
This mode selects the top most rows of the table. Note that the order of the rows depends on the connected database.
Draw randomly
Sample rows in random order if the connected database supports random sampling. Note that this method might be very slow for large database tables.
Stratified sampling
Check this button if you want stratified sampling, i.e. the distribution of values in the selected column is (approximately) retained in the output table.
Random seed
Check this option if you want to provide a seed number for random sampling.
