RE: Is querying SPITupleTable with SQL possible?

Hi,
I have had see your discussion about node EphemeralNamedRelation with the Community.
Now, I want to use this node in SQL(for test), I have saw the manual but could not understand,
can you show me a example on how to use it in SQL?

Thanks a lot~

Regards, wu fei

Thanks for this feedback! The EphemeralNamedRelation seems that it could be a good fit for what I'm looking for.

However, I'm not quite so sure how I can query over the EphemeralNamedRelation using SQL? Could someone indicate where I can find an example?
