# InjectTable

**PROTOTYPE**

Injects a read-only copy of a table from a source project into a target project.

| Key | Value(s) | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| method | "InjectTable" | Injects a read-only copy of a table from a source project into a target project. |
| sourceProject | "SourceProjectName" | Required. Name of project that contains the table to inject. |
| sourceTable | "SourceTableName" | Required. The source table to inject. |
| targetProject | "TargetProjectName" | Required. Name of project to receive the injected table. |
| targetTable | "TargetTableName" | Required. Name of table in the target project. |
| project | "CurrentProjectName" | Name of Current Project. |

Notes:

- Injected tables support the same functionality as standard tables: joins, derived data, extracts etc
- Additions to the underlying source table will not be reflected in the injected table.    To pick up changes to the source table, the injected table must be detached and re-injected.
- Multiple copies of the same source table can be injected into the same target project as long as each table is given a new name.
- If the target project is in use when a table is injected, the target project will need to be refreshed before the injected table appears.   Any action that triggers a refresh in the database tab will update the display - i.e., engineering, filtering, refreshing.
- If the source table is deleted, any linked injected tables will also be deleted.
