Dyre Tjeldvoll created DERBY-6340:
-------------------------------------
Summary: Add support for CREATE TYPE AS <existing type> (synonym
types)
Key: DERBY-6340
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6340
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: SQL
Reporter: Dyre Tjeldvoll
Assignee: Dyre Tjeldvoll
The SQL standard (2003) chapter 11.41 <user-defined type definition> allows the
creation of synonyms or aliases for an existing type: CREATE TYPE AS
<predefined type>. By allowing this in Derby we would simplify migration from,
and interoperation with, other databases.
