Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-716:
---------------------------------------------
I see that isRowMultiSet is used to indicate the function is a table function.
Would it not be clearer to have an explict state in RoutineAliasInfo that the
function is a table function, rather than overloading the return type to
indicate this?
Also look at DERBY-2917, I'm trying to separate TypeDescriptor &
DataTypeDescriptor, thus the cast you didn't want to add won't be valid soon.

> Cloudscape used to expose Virtual Table Interfaces, by which any class which
> implemented ResultSet could be included in a query's FROM list. Derby still
> exposes a number of these VTIs as diagnostic tools. However, Derby now
> prevents customers from declaring their own VTIs. The parser raises an error
> if a VTI's package isn't one of the Derby diagnostic packages.
> This is a very powerful feature which customers can use to solve many
> problems. We should discuss the reasons that it was disabled and come up with
> a plan for putting this power back into our customers' hands.
