Use of Segment Descriptions
The syntax diagram within each segment description is not a stand-alone diagram. Rather, it is a subdiagram of the syntax of the SQL statements (in SQL statements) or of SPL statements (in SPL statements) that can include the segment.
- A subdiagram reference in a syntax diagram can list a segment name and the page in this document where the segment description begins.
- The Syntax column of the table that immediately follows a syntax diagram can list a segment name and the page where the segment description begins.
If the syntax diagram for a statement includes a reference to a segment, turn to that segment description to see the complete syntax for the segment.
CREATE VIEW sales@boston:name_only AS SELECT customer_num, fname, lname FROM customer;
Besides the Data Types and Expressions syntax segments that this chapter documents, Other syntax segments provides additional syntax segments that are referenced in the syntax diagrams of this document.
