Example: Variable Reference Table Function - Teradata Vantage

This example shows a variable reference table function equijoined to another table.

Note the following things about this example:

The table function is sent to all AMPs and is passed tbl.c1 from all rows in tbl1; therefore it is a variable mode table function (see Teradata Vantage™ - SQL External Routine Programming, B035-1147).
The designer of this table function added a third argument to demonstrate that the function can provide some intelligence by not producing any rows unless the condition “equal” is met. For example, if the input argument tbl_l.c1 and the row for value tf2.c1 are not equal, the function does not produce any rows. This code eliminates the need for a subsequent step to filter rows produced by the table function resulting from the WHERE clause condition.
```
       SELECT *
       FROM tbl_1, TABLE(tudf1(28.8, tbl_1.c1, 'equal')) AS tf2
       WHERE tbl_1.c1 = tf2.c1;
```
