C Function Definition for the Transform Method - Analytics Database - Teradata Vantage

The following example implements transform functionality that allows Vantage to export a circle_t type as a VARCHAR(80). The format of the VARCHAR string is:

x:y:r:color

Null attributes are indicated by an absence of a value. For example, the format for a null radius is:

x:y::color
