Using ROWID columns
Automatic ROWID columns is not a common database feature.
Rowids are implicit primary keys generated by the database engine. Not all database servers support rowids:
| Database Server Type | Rowid keyword | Rowid type | ROWID support |

| IBM® DB2® LUW | No | N/A | Yes, see details |
| IBM Informix® | ROWID |

Yes, native SQL feature |
| IBM Netezza | No | N/A | Yes, see details |
| Microsoft™ SQL Server (2) | No | N/A | No, see details |
| Oracle® MySQL | No | N/A | No, see details |
| Oracle Database Server | ROWID |

Yes, see details |
| PostgreSQL | OID |
internal type | Yes, see details |
| SAP HANA® | No | N/A | No, see details |

Informix fills the SQLCA.SQLERRD[6]
register with the ROWID of the last updated row. This register
is an INTEGER and cannot be filled with rowids having CHAR(*)
type.
Search for ROWID and SQLCA.SQLERRD[6] in your code and review the code to remove the usage of rowids.
