Deprecated and Removed Functionality
Vertica retires Vertica functionality in two phases:
- Deprecated: Vertica announces deprecated features and functionality in a major or minor release. Deprecated features remain in the product and are functional. Published release documentation announces deprecation on this page. When users access this functionality, it may return informational messages about its pending removal.
- Removed: Vertica removes a feature in a major or minor release that follows the deprecation announcement. Users can no longer access the functionality, and this page is updated to verify removal (see History, below). Documentation that describes this functionality is removed, but remains in previous documentation versions.
