Example: Composing a Table to a DATASET Data Type - Teradata Vantage

This example shows how to compose an entire table to a DATASET data type.

CREATE TABLE employeeTable(
	empID INTEGER,
	empName VARCHAR(100),
	empDept VARCHAR(100));
INSERT INTO employeeTable(1,'George Smith','Accounting'); 
INSERT INTO employeeTable(2,'Pauline Kramer','HR');
INSERT INTO employeeTable(3,'Steven Mazzo','Engineering');


SELECT * FROM DATASET_PUBLISH
(
	ON (SELECT empName, empDept FROM employeeTable)
	 
) AS avroFiles;

Result:

data
7B2274797065223A226172726179222C226974656D73223A7B2274797065223A227265636F7264222C226E616D65223A227265635F30222C226669656C6473223A5B7B226E616D65223A22656D704E616D65222C2274797065223A22737472696E67227D2C7B226E616D65223A22656D7044657074222C2274797065223A22737472696E67227D5D7D7D0006001847656F72676520536D697468144163636F756E74696E67021C5061756C696E65204B72616D6572044852041853746576656E204D617A7A6F16456E67696E656572696E6700

To compose an entire table to a DATASET data type, with the storage format CSV:

CREATE TABLE employeeTable(
	empID INTEGER,
	empName VARCHAR(100),
	empDept VARCHAR(100));
INSERT INTO employeeTable(1,'George Smith','Accounting'); 
INSERT INTO employeeTable(2,'Pauline Kramer','HR');
INSERT INTO employeeTable(3,'Steven Mazzo','Engineering');


SELECT * FROM DATASET_PUBLISH
(
	ON (SELECT empName, empDept FROM employeeTable)
RETURNS (data DATASET STORAGE FORMAT CSV)

) AS csvFiles;

To convert the output to JSON, run the following examples using 'SELECT data.toJSON()' instead of 'SELECT *'.
