Here is a sample of how to invoke the table function with constant expression input arguments:
SELECT * FROM TABLE (extract_field('25,2:9005,7896,9004,7839;36,1:737,9387;', 25)) AS t1;
Here is a sample of how to invoke the table function using the columns from a derived table as input arguments:
SELECT DISTINCT cust.Customer_ID, cust.Item_ID FROM raw_cust, TABLE (extract_field(raw_cust.pending_data, 25)) AS cust WHERE raw_cust.region = 1;
Here is the definition of the raw_cust table:
CREATE SET TABLE raw_cust ,NO FALLBACK , NO BEFORE JOURNAL, NO AFTER JOURNAL, CHECKSUM = DEFAULT ( region INTEGER, pending_data VARCHAR(32000) CHARACTER SET LATIN NOT CASESPECIFIC) PRIMARY INDEX ( region );
Here is a sample of the data in the raw_cust table:
region pending_data ----------- --------------------------------------------------------- 2 7,2:879,3788,879,4500,390,9004;08,1:500,9056; 1 25,3:9005,3789,9004,4907,398,9004;36,2:738,9387,738,9550; 1 25,2:9005,7896,9004,7839;36,1:737,9387;
