SSC-FDM-TD0007

Variant column does not support collation.

Description

This message is shown when SnowConvert a Variant data type in the transformation of a code has a COLLATE clause. Since COLLATE is not supported with the data type VARIANT, it will be removed and a message will be added.

Example code

Input code:

IN -> Teradata_01.sql

-- Additional Params: --useCollateForCaseSpecification
CREATE TABLE TableExample
(
ColumnExample JSON(2500) NOT CASESPECIFIC
)

Output code:

OUT -> Teradata_01.sql

CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE TableExample
(
ColumnExample VARIANT
--                      NOT CASESPECIFIC /*** SSC-FDM-TD0007 - VARIANT COLUMN DOES NOT SUPPORT COLLATION ***/
)
COMMENT = '{"origin":"sf_sc","name":"snowconvert","version":{"major":1, "minor":0},{"attributes":{"component":"teradata"}}'
;

The data type JSON is converted to VARIANT, while NOT CASESPECIFIC is converted to a COLLATE clause.
