=== Using Views ===
If you find yourself copy/pasting SQL between different queries, consider using a Presto VIEW to allow for code reuse. Views create logical tables which you can reuse in other queries. For example, [https://sql.telemetry.mozilla.org/queries/776/source this view] defines some important filters and derived variables which are then used in [https://sql.telemetry.mozilla.org/queries/777/source#1311 this downstream query].
You can define a view by prefixing your query with
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW view_name AS ...
Be careful not to overwrite an existing view! Using a unique name is important.
=== FAQ ===
==== I'm getting an error, "... cannot be resolved" ====
For some reason, re:dash has trouble parsing SQL strings with double quotes. Try using single quotes instead.
