Target Table Options

 

Syntax Element …

Specifies …

table_name_1

the name of the base table, queue table, or derived table to be updated, or the name of a view through which the table is accessed.

If you specify a correlation name for table_name_1 in the FROM clause, then you must specify that correlation name for the updated table instead of table_name_1.

See “Example 5: UPDATE Specifying a Correlation Name for the Updated Table in the FROM Clause” on page 486.

correlation_name

an alias for table_name_1.

You cannot specify a correlation name for the table if the UPDATE statement includes the FROM clause.

Correlation names are also referred to as range variables.

The correlation_name option is a Teradata extension to the ANSI SQL:2011 standard.
