graph_edgeContractDDL
Generate DDL for a Graph Edge Contract-conforming table or view, defining required source and target columns. Choose TABLE or VIEW output.
Instructions
Generate DDL for a Graph Edge Contract-conforming table or view.
This tool does NOT require a database connection — it generates DDL text from templates. No SQL is executed. The conn parameter is accepted for ModuleLoader calling convention compatibility but is not used.
Required columns in the generated schema (6): Src_Container_Name, Src_Object_Name, Src_Kind, Tgt_Container_Name, Tgt_Object_Name, Tgt_Kind
Optional enrichment columns (2): Edge_Relationship — nature of the edge (ETL_INPUT, ETL_OUTPUT, DIRECT…) Transformation_Type — process category (ETL, FEATURE_ENG, AGGREGATION…) These are ignored by graph analysis tools but useful for visualisation.
AI-Native Data Product shortcut: If you are working within an AI-Native Data Product, the view {ProductName}Semantic.lineage_graph (Observability Module v1.5) already conforms to this contract. You do not need to generate DDL — pass that view's fully-qualified name directly as edge_repository on any graph* tool. Example: edge_repository='StGeoMortgage_Semantic.lineage_graph'
Arguments: conn: TeradataConnection (unused — accepted for ModuleLoader compatibility). target_database: Database in which to create the edge repository. For AI-Native Data Products this is typically {ProductName}_Semantic. Example: 'StGeoMortgage_Semantic' object_name: Name for the edge table/view. Default: 'EdgeRepository' output_type: 'TABLE' or 'VIEW'. TABLE: generates CREATE TABLE DDL + separate sample DML. Includes all 6 required + 2 optional columns. VIEW: generates a CREATE VIEW template for mapping an existing lineage source to all 8 contract columns. Default: 'TABLE'
Returns: list[dict]: Response payload containing: - ddl: DDL script (CREATE TABLE/VIEW + COMMENTs) - sample_dml: Sample INSERT statements + validation query (TABLE only; absent for VIEW) - output_type: 'TABLE' or 'VIEW' - contract_version: Contract version string
