Starting with Advanced SQL Engine 16.20, there is a new table called a Primary Time Index (PTI) table. For details about PTI tables, refer to Detailed Feature External Specification for Time Series. ODBC Driver for Teradata does not add any additional functionalities to handle this new table type, but the ODBC API function SQLTables now returns one additional column described in the following table:
| Column Name | Column Number | Data Type | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|
| TD_TABLE_FLAVOR | 6 | varchar | Contains “PRIMARY TIME INDEX” for PTI tables. Null if table is not a PTI table. |
