Specifies the shape of the table that is returned by the UDTF.

Syntax

The method has the following syntax:

virtual void calculateShape(UdxOutputShaper *shaper)

Description

UDTFs that return a generic table size (that is, that specify RETURNS GENERIC TABLE) must include a calculateShape() method to define the shape and content of the return table.
