使用teradata系统表获取列类型

Question

我想从teradata系统表(如dbc.columns)中获取实际的列类型.

此表具有列columntype但它不提供实际的数据类型.

我可以得到输出

select type(columnname) from table
output: varchar2(20) 

但是有1000个表和50000列.请建议一些查询,它可以从元数据本身给我实际列列类型

Answer 1

对于视图,columntype将为NULL,因为它在运行时已解析.

对于单个表,您可以执行HELP COLUMN视图名.*; 获取实际的数据类型.

顺便说一句,在Teradata中没有像Varchar2这样的类型,那就是Oracle :-)

编辑:好像你想要一个列的完整定义.这是一个SQL UDF,返回你在SHOW TABLE中找到的相同信息(如果TD14.10被覆盖,我也不是,我也没有检查):

REPLACE FUNCTION DataTypeString 
 (
  ColumnType CHAR(2),
  ColumnLength INT,
  DecimalTotalDigits SMALLINT,
  DecimalFractionalDigits SMALLINT,
  CharType SMALLINT,
  ColumnUDTName VARCHAR(128) CHARACTER SET UNICODE
 )
RETURNS VARCHAR(60)
