Restrictions on External Tables in Joins and Subqueries

Restrictions on External Tables in Joins and Subqueries

When you use external tables in joins or subqueries, the following restrictions apply:

No more than one external table is valid in a query.
The external table cannot be the outer table in an outer join.
For subqueries that cannot be converted to joins, you can use an external table in the main query, but not in the subquery.
You cannot do a self-join on an external table.

For more information on subqueries, see your HCL OneDB™ Performance Guide.
