Consider the following tables:
CREATE TABLE T1 (Fname VARCHAR(25) ,Fid INTEGER ,Yrs CHARACTER(2)); CREATE TABLE T2 (Wname VARCHAR(25) ,Wid INTEGER ,Age SMALLINT);
In the following statement, Vantage implicitly converts the character string in T1.Yrs to a numeric value:
UPDATE T2 SET Age = T1.Yrs + 5;
This is not evident in the syntax of the source statement, but becomes evident when the dictionary information for tables T1 and T2 is accessed.
