COLUMN_CREATE
Syntax
COLUMN_CREATE(column_nr, value [as type], [column_nr, value [as type]]...); COLUMN_CREATE(column_name, value [as type], [column_name, value [as type]]...);
Description
Returns a dynamic columns blob that stores the specified columns with values.
The return value is suitable for
- storing in a table
- further modification with other dynamic columns functions
The as type
part allows one to specify the value type. In most cases,
this is redundant because MariaDB will be able to deduce the type of the
value. Explicit type specification may be needed when the type of the value is
not apparent. For example, a literal '2012-12-01'
has a CHAR type by
default, one will need to specify '2012-12-01' AS DATE
to have it stored as
a date. See Dynamic Columns:Datatypes for further details.
Examples
INSERT INTO tbl SET dyncol_blob=COLUMN_CREATE("column_name", "value");
