Impact of SET USING Columns on License Limits

Vertica does not count the data in denormalized columns towards your raw data license limit. SET USING columns obtain their data by querying columns in other tables. You cannot modify SET USING data directly—for example, through DML operations such as INSERT and COPY. Thus, only the source data counts against your raw data license limit.

For a list of SET USING restrictions, see Defining Column Values.
