Description
The CREATE CURSOR command creates a temporary table with the specified name. Columns to be included in the table can be specified individually or details loaded from an existing array.
| Keywords | Description |
|---|---|
| cursor | The name of the temporary table to be created. |
| column | The name of the column to be created. |
| datatype | The column's data type. |
| precision | The width of the column where not fixed. |
| scale | The column's decimal places where required. |
| NOT NULL | Specifies whether this column can have NULL values. NULL allows NULL values, NOT NULL prohibits NULL values. |
| CHECK <expression> | Validation rule for the column. The <expression> must evaluate to true (.T.), valid value or false (.F.), invalid value. |
| ERROR <text> | An optional error message, <text>, to be displayed when the CHECK <expression> validation fails. |
| AUTOINC | Enables auto incrementing for the column |
| NEXTVALUE <NextValue> | The specified <NextValue> is the numeric start value for the auto incrementing. |
| STEP <StepValue> | The specified <StepValue> determines the increment value. By default values are incremented by 1. |
| DEFAULT <expression> | The specified <expression> is used as the default value for the column. |
| UNIQUE | Creates a unique index on this column. |
| COLLATE <cCollateSequence> | The specified <cCollateSequence> is used as the index collating sequence. |
| NOCPTRANS | Disables code page translation for character and memo columns. |
| FROM ARRAY <array> | The table structure is taken from an existing array, whose name is specified in <array>. The array contents must be the column name, type, precision and scale for each column in the temporary table. |
Example
CREATE CURSOR tempstaff (staff_no CHAR(6) NOT NULL UNIQUE, lastname CHAR(15) NOT NULL, firstname CHAR(10), hiredate DATE, location CHAR(15), supervisor CHAR(6), salary DECIMAL(6,0), picture VARBINARY, history LONG VARCHAR, commission DECIMAL(4,1));
