Hi Namit, If I understand correctly, she wants to create a new table (Not 
modifying the existing tables) as part of the test setup to validate her new 
UDFs. Are there any guidelines on where to create new tables with different 
data to validate new UDFs?

Thanks,
Kanna

You cannot change tables which are created by QTestUtil (like src).
