>What does "table assignment operation" mean?

A table is a variable of a specified type. Assignment operation means the same for such a variable as it does for any other variable: An operation that replaces the current value of the variable with a new value based on some expression and often denoted by a symbol involving the '=' character. e.g. ':=' in Pascal or simply '=' in C/C++

Assignment statement as opposed to update statement and insert statement, if you prefer. Received on Sun Aug 26 2001 - 15:41:42 CDT
