[SOLVED] Equivalent of Oracle's "TYPE" in PostgreSQL.


Recommended Posts

For the benefit of those who does not know.

 

The oracle code that i had posted yesterday was a way of declaring an "Associative Array"

in oracle. for which, in PostgreSQL, its just the same as declaring a simple array.

 

Let us discuss.

 

ORACLE CODE: TYPE myTable IS TABLE OF varchar2(1) INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;

 

The oracle code specified above means that you are declaring an ARRAY of type "varchar2" with the size of 1 ,

and it is named "myTable".

 

The sub-code "INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER" means that you are indexing the ARRAY by an "INTEGER".

Note that in Oracle, ARRAYS can be indexed either by an "INTEGER" or a "STRING".

 

And that's it, hope this would help someone here.
