Project: Teiid
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 7.4
Environment: All
Reporter: Paul Nittel
Assignee: Steven Hawkins
Once again I confused myself while trying to use the LOOKUP function. The first three
arguments are all quoted strings. A simple example might help demonstrate this to the
reader. I believe this may work as it follows the descriptive text.
SELECT LOOKUP('ModelName.StatePostalCodes', 'StateDisplayName',
'PostalCode', Table.WhatStateMatchesThisPostalCode) AS LookedUpStateName FROM
Table

How about a pointer over to the caching guide?

------------------------------------
Pointers from one doc to another can be highly annoying to someone who just wants the
answer. I still think an example is best.
BTW, the example in the Caching guide is wrong. ;-)
lookup(‘ISOCountryCodes, ‘CountryName’, ‘CountryCode’, ‘US’)
It's missing the end quote for the first argument and the 4th argument should not be a
quoted literal.
Since both docs may wind up with examples, having the same example might save some time.

Steven Hawkins commented on TEIID-1692:
---------------------------------------
Yes, it's missing a quote. Can you explain why the 4th argument should not be quoted?
Or would you just prefer a larger example that shows use of a column reference?
Just to reiterate, as the caching guide covers it is almost in all ways better to use a
materialized view rather than the lookup function. The lookup function at this point is
really just legacy that probably should be deprecated.

Paul Nittel commented on TEIID-1692:
------------------------------------
Ramesh and I discussed this and agree that materialized views are a much better approach
to looking up static data.
As for the 4th argument and quotes, it certainly works fine when the 4th arg is a literal
value to be looked up. I quoted the column being looked up and the query returned nulls as
the returned value. I imagine most uses of LOOKUP would be against a column rather than a
literal value.
