Purpose
Returns the actual size of the UDT in its serialized form.
Syntax
FNC_LobLength_t
FNC_UdtGetSerializeSize(UDT_HANDLE udt)
- UDT_HANDLE udt
- the handle of the UDT.
Return Value
The size of the UDT in its serialized form.
Usage Notes
Use the size returned by this function to allocate the buffer that will hold the serialized or deserialized data in calls to FNC_UdtSerialize and FNC_UdtDeserialize.
The upper limit on the amount of memory that a UDF can allocate using FNC_malloc is specified by the MallocLimit field in the cufconfig utility. For more information about cufconfig, see Teradata Vantage™ - Database Utilities , B035-1102 .
The query will fail if the UDT does not support serialize/deserialize.
