Example: Creating a Transform Request

The following CREATE TRANSFORM request creates the transform group named client_IO, which is composed of the tosql transform stringToAddress and the fromsql transform toString for the UDT named address.

     CREATE TRANSFORM FOR address client_IO (
       TO SQL WITH SPECIFIC FUNCTION SYSUDTLIB.stringToAddress,
       FROM SQL WITH SPECIFIC METHOD toString);

Example: Creating Multiple Transform Groups

Create the functions for the FROM SQL WITH and TO SQL WITH clauses. This example uses functions for integer, character, and binary values.

This statement creates three transform groups:
CREATE TRANSFORM FOR XMLD_STRUCT2
XMLD_STRUCT2INT (TO SQL WITH SPECIFIC FUNCTION SYSUDTLIB.XMLD_STRUCT2INT_TOSQL,
                 FROM SQL WITH SPECIFIC FUNCTION SYSUDTLIB.XMLD_STRUCT2INT_FROMSQL)
XMLD_STRUCT2CHAR(TO SQL WITH SPECIFIC FUNCTION SYSUDTLIB.XMLD_STRUCT2CHAR_TOSQL,
                 FROM SQL WITH SPECIFIC FUNCTION SYSUDTLIB.XMLD_STRUCT2CHAR_FROMSQL)
XMLD_STRUCT2BYTE(TO SQL WITH SPECIFIC FUNCTION SYSUDTLIB.XMLD_STRUCT2BYTE_TOSQL,
                 FROM SQL WITH SPECIFIC FUNCTION SYSUDTLIB.XMLD_STRUCT2BYTE_FROMSQL);
