The to_bytes
function in Teradata casts a value to a byte data type. While Teradata uses SQL for query language, you can achieve similar functionality in Java using a combination of ByteBuffer
and BigInteger
classes.
Here is an example Java code snippet to replicate the to_bytes
function in Teradata:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 |
import java.nio.ByteBuffer; import java.math.BigInteger; public class ToBytesFunction { public static byte[] toBytes(long value) { ByteBuffer buffer = ByteBuffer.allocate(Long.BYTES); buffer.putLong(value); return buffer.array(); } public static byte[] toBytes(String value) { BigInteger bigInteger = new BigInteger(value); return bigInteger.toByteArray(); } public static void main(String[] args) { long longValue = 123456789L; byte[] bytesLong = toBytes(longValue); System.out.println("Byte array for long value: " + bytesLong.length); String stringValue = "987654321"; byte[] bytesString = toBytes(stringValue); System.out.println("Byte array for string value: " + bytesString.length); } } |
In this code snippet:
