SQL Definition - Analytics Database - Teradata Vantage

The default parameter mapping convention for mapping SQL data types to Java data types is simple mapping, where SQL data types map to Java primitives. In this example, the EXTERNAL NAME string does not specify the parameter types, so simple mapping is assumed. The corresponding Java function must also use simple mapping as shown in the subsequent Java Implementation section.

DATABASE JUDF;
CREATE FUNCTION extract_field(Text VARCHAR(32000),
                              From_Store INTEGER)
   RETURNS TABLE (Customer_ID INTEGER,
                  Store_ID INTEGER,
                  Item_ID INTEGER)
   LANGUAGE JAVA
   NO SQL
   PARAMETER STYLE JAVA
   EXTERNAL NAME 'UDF_JAR:UserDefinedFunctions.extract_field';

This example shows the SQL definition for a table function with object mapping:

DATABASE JUDF;
CREATE FUNCTION extract_field(Text VARCHAR(32000),
                              From_Store INTEGER)
   RETURNS TABLE (Customer_ID INTEGER,
                  Store_ID INTEGER,
                  Item_ID INTEGER)
   LANGUAGE JAVA
   NO SQL
   PARAMETER STYLE JAVA
   EXTERNAL NAME 'UDF_JAR:UserDefinedFunctions.extract_field(java.lang.String, 
java.lang.Integer, java.lang.Integer[], java.lang.Integer[], java.lang.Integer[]';

The corresponding Java UDF definition is:

public static void extract_field(java.lang.String textstr,
                                 java.lang.Integer from_store,
                                 java.lang.Integer[] cust_id,
                                 java.lang.Integer[] store_id,
                                 java.lang.Integer[] item_id)
{
   ...
}
