Example: Partitioning Expression That Specifies AT LOCAL Date - Teradata Vantage - Analytics Database

Assume that column ts has a TIMESTAMP(0) without time zone data type and the current session time zone is INTERVAL '04:00' HOUR TO MINUTE when the table that contains column ts is created with the following PARTITION BY clause. The RANGE_N function has an INTEGER data type.

     PARTITION BY RANGE_N(CAST(ts AS DATE AT LOCAL) 
                          BETWEEN DATE '2003-01-01' 
                          AND     DATE '2009-12-31'
                          EACH INTERVAL '1' MONTH)

Vantage implicitly rewrites this partitioning expression, replacing LOCAL with a specific time zone as follows.

     PARTITION BY RANGE_N(CAST(ts AS DATE AT '04:00') 
                          BETWEEN DATE '2003-01-01' 
                          AND DATE '2009-12-31'
                          EACH INTERVAL '1' MONTH)
