I'm trying to write a function that performs aggregation and I'm not clear on how to handle the varargs part. Lets assume I was wanting to write a function that does averaging, and handles null values correctly.
I'm defining my function like this:

CREATE FUNCTION MYAVG
( VALS DOUBLE ... )
RETURNS DOUBLE
PARAMETER STYLE DERBY
NO SQL LANGUAGE JAVA
EXTERNAL NAME 'myorg.misc.derby.functions.MyFunctions.myAverage;


What does the signature of the Java method need to be?
I've tried:

static Double myAverage(Double[] vals) { }
static Double myAverage(Double... vals) { }

Both of these fail with:
java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: No method was found that matched the method call myorg.misc.derby.functions.MyFunctions.myAverage(double...), tried all combinations of object and primitive types and any possible type conversion for any parameters the method call may have

Seems like its wanting
static Double myAverage(double... vals) { }
but if that's the case how are nulls handled?

Thanks
Tim



Thanks for tripping across this, Tim. Looks like there's a bug in here. Works for Integer args but not Double args. Stand by while I take a look...

Thanks,
