# Get remote data source connection.
con <- td_get_context()$connection

# Example 1 - Loading single table used in the example for "td_glm_mle".
# Load example data.
loadExampleData("glm_example", "admissions_train")

# Create object of class "tbl_teradata" based on the data loaded to use as input.
admissions_train <- tbl(con, "admissions_train")

# Example 2 - Loading multiple tables used in the examples for "td_glm_predict_mle".
loadExampleData("glmpredict_example", "admissions_test", "housing_test")

# Create objects of class "tbl_teradata" based on the data loaded to use as inputs.
admissions_test <- tbl(con, "admissions_test")
housing_test <- tbl(con, "housing_test")
