View Migration

CREATE VIEW (short key CV) is used together with SELECT to create a view.

The keyword VIEW is supported by both Teradata and GaussDB(DWS), but the SELECT statements are enclosed in double quotation marks during the migration. For details, see the following figures.

Use the tdMigrateVIEWCHECKOPTION configuration parameter to configure migration of views containing the WITH CHECK OPTION keyword. If tdmigrateVIEWCHECKOPTION is set to false, the tool will skip migration of the query and will log a message.

If the CREATE VIEW includes the LOCK keyword, then the VIEW query will be migrated based on the value of tdMigrateLOCKoption.

Input - CREATE VIEW

REPLACE VIEW

In Teradata, the REPLACE VIEW statement is used to create a view or rebuild the existing view. DSC converts the REPLACE VIEW statement to the CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW statement that is compatible with GaussDB(DWS).

Input - REPLACE VIEW

REPLACE VIEW DP_STEDW.MY_PARAM AS SELECT
          RUNDATE
     FROM
          DP_STEDW.DATE_TBL
     WHERE
          dummy = 1
;

          FROM
               DP_STEDW.DATE_TBL
          WHERE
               dummy = 1
)
;

Replace RECURSIVE VIEW reachable_from (
emp_id,emp_name,DEPTH) 
AS (
SELECT root.emp_id,root.emp_name,0 AS DEPTH
FROM emp AS root
WHERE root.mgr_id IS NULL);

emp_id,emp_name,DEPTH) 
AS (
SELECT root.emp_id,root.emp_name,0 AS DEPTH
FROM emp AS root
WHERE root.mgr_id IS NULL
) SELECT * FROM reachable_from);

REPLACE FUNCTION

Input

REPLACE FUNCTION up_load1.RPT_016_BUS_DATE()
RETURNS DATE 
LANGUAGE SQL 
CONTAINS SQL 
DETERMINISTIC 
SQL SECURITY DEFINER 
COLLATION INVOKER 
INLINE TYPE 1 
RETURN DATE'2017-08-22';

Output

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION up_load1.RPT_016_BUS_DATE()
RETURNS DATE
LANGUAGE SQL
IMMUTABLE
SECURITY DEFINER
AS 
$$
SELECT CAST('2017-08-20' AS DATE)
$$
;

CHECK OPTION

Use the tdMigrateVIEWCHECKOPTION configuration parameter to configure migration of views containing the CHECK OPTION keyword

If a view with CHECK OPTION is present in the source, then the CHECK OPTION is commented from the target database.

Input - VIEW with CHECK OPTION

CV  mgr15 AS SEL *
FROM
    employee
WHERE
    manager_id = 15 WITH CHECK OPTION
;

Output (tdMigrateVIEWCHECKOPTION=True)

     OR REPLACE VIEW mgr15 AS (

                    *
               FROM
                    employee
               WHERE
                    manager_id = 15 /*WITH CHECK OPTION */
     )
;

Output (tdMigrateVIEWCHECKOPTION=False)

CV  mgr15 AS SEL *
FROM
    employee
WHERE
    manager_id = 15 WITH CHECK OPTION
;

VIEW WITH RECURSIVE

GaussDB(DWS) does not support the Teradata keyword RECURSIVE VIEW. Therefore the keyword is replaced with VIEW WITH RECURSIVE keyword as shown in the following figures.

Figure 1 Input view-CREATE RECURSIVE VIEW
Figure 2 Output view

VIEW WITH ACCESS LOCK

Use the tdMigrateLOCKOption configuration parameter to configure migration of query containing the LOCK keyword. If tdMigrateLOCKOption is set to false, the tool will skip migration of the query and will log a message.

Input - VIEW with ACCESS LOCK
