Defining Sample

To set the sampling, you must first establish a connection and select a schema.

All records - Select this option to sample all the records.
A range of records - Select this option to specify a range of records using From and To.
Last Record - Select this check box to sample the last record.

Every Nth record where N equals - Select this option to sample specific records. The sampled records begin with 1, then increment by the value of n. For example, if n = 3, the sampled records for a file with 10 records are 1, 4, 7, and 10.
