The restrictions in the following table apply to operations involving predicates and CLOB, BLOB, and UDT types.
Data Type | Restrictions |
---|---|
BLOB | Predicates do not support BLOB or CLOB data types. You can explicitly cast BLOBs to BYTE and VARBYTE types and CLOBs to CHARACTER and VARCHAR types, and use the results in a predicate. |
CLOB | |
UDT | The LIKE and OVERLAPS logical predicates do not support UDTs. For EXISTS and NOT EXISTS: Multiple UDTs involved as predicate operands must be identical types because Vantage does not perform implicit type conversion on UDTs involved as predicate operands. A workaround for this restriction is to use CREATE CAST to define casts that cast between the UDTs and then explicitly invoke the CAST function within the operation involving predicates. For more information on CREATE CAST, see Teradata Vantage™ - SQL Data Definition Language Syntax and Examples, B035-1144. For BETWEEN/ NOT BETWEEN and IN/NOT:
