User defined data type

Post by fsalvelt » Fri Dec 14, 2012 1:22 pm

Hi there!

Is it possible to create user defined data types in Vertica? I would like to create a record type to be available as the data type for columns in a table.

Thank you
Thank, Fred

Hi,

As of release 6.1 we can not create tables that have columns defined as a record type data type.

Is there a reason why you'd want to store data like that in a data warehouse? Maybe look into de-normalizing the data.

Thanks!
