I have sql for initialize db and tables with tablespaces and functions. & symbol can be used in function - bit and operator and with "tablespace" keyword in Vertica - like "CREATE TABLE ... TABLESPACE &DATASPACE"

Describe the solution you'd like A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

I think there are 2 options.

1. Accept & symbol
2. option parameter - ignore then continue to process

Hi @kimjj81, thanks for reporting the issue! can you provide some more details: in what DB allowed & in sql ddl? Can you just send link to the documentation. It will be really helpful. And to DATASPACE - where is it used? In what db. Thank you!

Hi @xnuinside I have a legacy sql file to initialize DB - Vertica ( https://vertica.com/ ) In that file & used as below

DEFINE TS=&1
CREATE TABLE (.....) TABLESPACE &TS;

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION ... $BODY$
DECLARE
SOME_EVENT RECORD;
EX VARCHAR(3);
BEGIN
......
IF OPTIONS&64 <> 0 THEN ........

Unfortunately, I don't know much about vertica, and I didn't find documents of 'TABLESPACE'.

Thanks for you reply.

@kimjj81 this issue was fixed in version 0.28.0. I tested on sample:

DEFINE TS=&1
CREATE TABLE table( `id` INT NOT NULL) TABLESPACE &TS;

it produces normal output.

If will be needed anything else - feel free to open new issue.

And sorry that its takes so much time :)
