Tip<br />
In an existing database, it's not always easy to tell a regular table from a GTT, or a transaction-level GTT from<br />
a connection-level GTT. Use this query to find out a table's type:<br />
select t.rdb$type_name<br />
from rdb$relations r<br />
join rdb$types t on r.rdb$relation_type = t.rdb$type<br />
where t.rdb$field_name = 'RDB$RELATION_TYPE'<br />
and r.rdb$relation_name = 'TABLENAME'<br />
Or, for an overview of all your relations:<br />
select r.rdb$relation_name, t.rdb$type_name<br />
from rdb$relations r<br />
join rdb$types t on r.rdb$relation_type = t.rdb$type<br />
where t.rdb$field_name = 'RDB$RELATION_TYPE'<br />
and coalesce (r.rdb$system_flag, 0) = 0<br />
GENERATED ALWAYS AS<br />
Added in: <strong>2.1</strong><br />
Description: Instead of COMPUTED [BY], you may also use the SQL-2003-compliant equivalent GENERATED<br />
ALWAYS AS for computed fields.<br />
Syntax:<br />
Example:<br />
colname [coltype] GENERATED ALWAYS AS (expression)<br />
create table Persons (<br />
id int primary key,<br />
firstname varchar(24) not null,<br />
middlename varchar(24),<br />
