COMPUTE_FLEXTABLE_KEYS_AND_BUILD_VIEW

Combines the functionality of BUILD_FLEXTABLE_VIEW and COMPUTE_FLEXTABLE_KEYS to compute virtual columns (keys) from the VMap data of a flex table and construct a view. Creating a view with this function ignores empty keys. If you do not need to perform both operations together, use one of the single-operation functions instead.

If the length of a key exceeds 65,000, Vertica truncates the key.
