Description
Table that is to receive rows created from input data records
If the table is not explicitly qualified by database name, the default database
qualifies it.
Column of the specified table that is to receive the value from a field of
matching input records, where the value is identified by the corresponding
entry in the fieldname list
Field of an input record, whose value is given to a column of the specified table
that is identified by the corresponding entry in the cname clause in this
statement
If this statement did not specify a cname, the object’s CREATE statement
provides the corresponding column identifier. This assumes that all columns
from the table correspond to those specified in the original CREATE
statement.
Alternative to the fieldname clause, an expression that includes one or more
actual fieldnames as terms may instead be used
Usage Notes
The following notes describe how to use an INSERT statement following a DML command.
An INSERT statement may also be used in the support environment; normal rules for INSERT
are followed in that case.
One way of specifying the applicable DML statements is to relate each field name to the name
of the column to which the field’s data is applied. Another way tells Teradata TPump to apply
