Overview

"CREATE TABLE" statement is made up of main 3 parts in Oracle. Relational table, Object table, XML type table.

ALTIBASE HDB does not support Object type and XML type.

So we can't describe object table, XML type table.

We only explain relational table.

Full Size
Oracle relational table is mainly composed of 3 parts.

  • relational properties
  • physical properties
  • table properties
Icon

ALTIBASE HDB does not support global temporary table.

ALTIBASE HDB Volatile tablespace is no-logging tablespace.

You can create table in using a Volatile tablespace, and it is used like temporary table.

But this table is same with normal table except for volatility.

That is, data remain until DB shut down.

Relational properties

ALTIBASE HDB does not support functions listed below in relational properties.

  • cluster
  • column encryption
  • virtual column
  • Object Type
  • XML Type
  • supplemental logging

ALTIBASE HDB column definition is similar to Oracle's one.

The part of constraints is described in Constraint of Data conversion.
