Loading table from ODBC database without SQL statements

Hello dear Community!

I would like to load a table from an ODBC database, but filter the colums before i load them, because the entries are huge and my loadscript takes lots of time to load it. As I can see, the wizard uses SQL statements, for instance:

random_table:
SQL SELECT column1,
column2,
column3
FROM owner."table_name";

 

As far as I know, I can't use functions like "for" or "if" with SQL statements.

So my question is: Can I load tables from databases without SQL statements (like regular Excel or CSV files)?

My Goal is to do something like this:

*loading table1 with column1*

new_table:
for column1 in table1:
       load
         .
         .
         .
from table2 where column2=column1;

table2 is the huge one, I would like to filter before loading it...

 

Thank you very much in advance!

Can't you just use WHERE in the SQL statement?
