Indicates the phase in the parser from which the contract function is being called. The parser phases are as follows:
| Parser Phase | Meaning |
|---|---|
| FNC_CTRCT_GET_ALLCOLS_PHASE = 0 | Function returns all remote table columns. |
| FNC_CTRCT_VALIDATE_PHASE = 1 | Validates that inputs are correct. Contract function can be called multiple times from this phase. This phase is currently not used.
|
| FNC_CTRCT_COMPLETE_PHASE = 2 | Last call of contract function. Necessary foreign server actions must be completed. |
| FNC_CTRCT_DDL_PHASE = 3 | CREATE SERVER statement execution is being completed and connectivity must be verified. |
| FNC_CTRCT_DEFINE_SERVER_PHASE = 4 | CREATE VIEW or CREATE MACRO statement is being executed. Custom clause data may be invalid. |
This routine is callable on a PE vproc only by a table operator.
