Openedge Data Management: SQL Reference - Product ...

CREATE TABLE supplier_item (
supp_no INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
item_no INTEGER NOT NULL REFERENCES john.item (itemno),
qty INTEGER
) ;
The table will be created in the current owner schema.
The following CREATE TABLE statement explicitly specifies a table owner, gus:
CREATE TABLE account (
account integer,
balance numeric (12,2),
info char (84)
) ;
CREATE TABLE
The following example shows the AS query_expression form of CREATE TABLE to create and
load a table with a subset of the data in the customer table:
CREATE TABLE dealer (name, street, city, state)
AS
SELECT name, street, city, state
FROM customer
WHERE state IN ('CA','NY', 'TX') ;
The following example includes a NOT NULL column constraint and DEFAULT clauses for column
definitions:
CREATE TABLE emp (
empno integer NOT NULL,
deptno integer DEFAULT 10,
join_date date DEFAULT NULL
) ;
The following example shows how to create a table with two columns, both of which have ABL
descriptions and column labels specified:
CREATE TABLE emp (
empno INTEGER NOT NULL UNIQUE
PRO_DESCRIPTION ’A unique number for each employee’
PRO_COL_LABEL ’Employee No.’
deptno INTEGER DEFAULT 21 NOT NULL
PRO_DESCRIPTION ’The department number of the employee’
PRO_COL_LABEL ’Dept. No.’
)
PRO_HIDDEN ’Y’ PRO_DESCRIPTION ’All Employees’;
The table itself has a description specified, and will be created as hidden.
Note Table columns defined in OpenEdge SQL have default format values identical to those created
by the Data Dictionary. Thus, columns created by SQL will have the same default format as
columns created by ABL tools.
