SetContainerName function

The SetContainerName function sets the container name for a time series, even if the time series already has a container name.

Syntax

SetContainerName(ts              TimeSeries, 
                  container_name  varchar(128,1)) 
returns TimeSeries;
ts
The time series to act on.
container_name
The name of the container.

Description

If a time series is stored in a container, you can use the SetContainerName function to copy the time series from one container to another. The time series is copied to the container that you specify with the container_name parameter. The original time series is unaffected.

Returns

A time series with a new container set.

Example

The following example creates the container tsirr and sets a time series to it:
execute procedure TSContainerCreate('tsirr', 'rootdbs', 
   'stock_bar_union', 0, 0);

select SetContainerName(Union(s1.stock_data, 
      s2.stock_data)::TimeSeries(stock_bar_union),
      'tsirr')
from daily_stocks s1, daily_stocks s2
where s1.stock_name = 'IBM' and s2.stock_name = 'AA02';
