Example: CAST - Advanced SQL Engine - Teradata Database

The following statement creates a table that defines a euro column named sales :

CREATE TABLE swiss_sales
  (location address
  ,sales euro);

The following statement uses CAST to return a euro UDT expression. Using CAST requires a cast definition that converts the DECIMAL(8,2) predefined type to a euro type.

INSERT INTO swiss_sales
   SELECT location, CAST (sales AS euro)
   FROM european_sales
   WHERE region = 1038;
