Thanks for joining!<BR /><BR />I chased down an answer. Today the notebook supports static reads during the validation of the MV.&nbsp; We do have dynamic read() as a feature in our backlog today. I was sure to add a link to this question from you as an additional 'vote' for the feature!</P> Thu, 04 Aug 2022 03:59:17 GMT https://community.incorta.com/t5/data-schema-discussions/python-mv/m-p/2330#M134 JoeM 2022-08-04T03:59:17Z
