UPDATE/DELETE … WHERE CURRENT OF

Informix®

Informix allows positioned UPDATEs and DELETEs with the "WHERE CURRENT OF cursor" clause, if the cursor has been DECLARED with a SELECT ... FOR UPDATE statement.

Netezza®

Netezza servers do no support SELECT FOR UPDATE, and does not set locks.

Positioned UPDATE/DELETE with the WHERE CURRENT OF cursor clause cannot be supported with Netezza.

Solution

UPDATE/DELETE ... WHERE CURRENT OF is not supported with Netezza.

As a replacement of WHERE CURRENT OF, if the database table is defined with a primary key column, use the value fetched from the SELECT [FOR UPDATE] cursor in the WHERE clause of the UPDATE/DELETE statement.
