CREATE PUMP

Creates a pump.

Syntax​

Syntax
CREATE PUMP <pump_name> AS
  <insert-statement>
  <select-statement>

Example​

Example
CREATE PUMP c_to_f AS
    INSERT INTO sink_temperature_fahrenheit (ts, temperature)
    SELECT STREAM
        source_temperature_celsius.ts,
        32.0 + source_temperature_celsius.temperature * 1.8
    FROM source_temperature_celsius;

Column mappings between SELECT and INSERT​

The order of select_list in SELECT statement is preserved in the INSERT statement's column list.

Column mapping
CREATE PUMP <pump_name> AS
  INSERT INTO <downstream_name> (d1, d2, d3) <insert-statement>
  SELECT u1, u2, u3
    FROM <upstream_name>
    ...

In the above example, u1 is mapped to d1, u2 is mapped to d2, and u3 is mapped to d3.

If the number of fields and columns differ between SELECT and INSERT, it should cause an SQL error.
