Computed Columns

In MSSQL you can create a table with a computed column, like this...

CREATE FUNCTION CubicVolume
-- Input dimensions in centimeters.
(@CubeLength decimal(4,1), @CubeWidth decimal(4,1),
@CubeHeight decimal(4,1) )
RETURNS decimal(12,3) -- Cubic Centimeters.
AS
BEGIN
RETURN ( @CubeLength * @CubeWidth * @CubeHeight )
END

CREATE TABLE Bricks
(
BrickPartNmbr int PRIMARY KEY,
BrickColor nchar(20),
BrickHeight decimal(4,1),
BrickLength decimal(4,1),
BrickWidth decimal(4,1),
BrickVolume AS
(
dbo.CubicVolume (BrickHeight,
BrickLength, BrickWidth)
)
)

Is there an equivalent in MySQL beside views, stored procedures or
calculating it in a query?

I'm not trying to implement it; I'm just curious.

No, there is no declarative support for computed fields in MySQL.

Hi all, I have two identical DataTables. One of the columns is a computed one. With a DataReader I try to copy the DataRows from one table to the other, but I get an InvalidOperationException, because calculated columns can not be set. Does anyone know a solution to work around this behaviour, for example how to exlude this column from the copy process (without removing it from the table)? Thanks in advance
