Translation from Netezza to Snowflake

Description

Creates a new table in Netezza. For more information, please refer to CREATE TABLE (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/netezza?topic=npsscr-create-table) documentation.

Warning

This grammar is partially supported in Snowflake. Translation pending for these table options:

[ ORGANIZE ON { (<col>) | NONE } ]
[ ROW SECURITY ]
[ DATA_VERSION_RETENTION_TIME <number-of-days> ]
Copy

Grammar Syntax

CREATE [ TEMPORARY | TEMP ] TABLE [IF NOT EXISTS] <table>
( <col> <type> [<col_constraint>][,<col> <type> [<col_constraint>]…]
<table_constraint> [,<table_constraint>… ] )
[ DISTRIBUTE ON { RANDOM | [HASH] (<col>[,<col>…]) } ]
[ ORGANIZE ON { (<col>) | NONE } ]
[ ROW SECURITY ]
[ DATA_VERSION_RETENTION_TIME <number-of-days> ]
Copy

DISTRIBUTE ON RANDOM - DISTRIBUTE ON HASH

Note

This syntax is not needed in Snowflake.

These clauses controls how table data is physically distributed across the system’s segments. As Snowflake automatically handles data storage, these options will be removed in the migration.

Grammar Syntax

DISTRIBUTE ON { RANDOM | [HASH] (<col>[,<col>…]) }
Copy
