Literal Values

A SQL Script can contain any literal value that is valid in SQL, plus type ROW or XML (which need to be defined).

Syntax (ROW-Type Literal Value)

ROW( <valueExpression>, … )

Syntax (XML-Type Literal Value)

There is no literal format for an XML type. Use the following syntax to create an XML type.

CAST ('xml_string' AS XML)

Remarks

•

The symbols TRUE and FALSE are reserved for use as literal boolean values.

•

Literal values are delimited by single quotes ('string'). To specify an apostrophe within a string, use two apostrophes in a row ('').

•

There is no literal format for a cursor type. For details, see DECLARE CURSOR of Type Variable.
