UDF was been deprecated in FB 4.
Could we remove them from master for v5?
Doubt that. UDF is too actively used feature, lot of users will not be
happy.
Generally, it's OK to remove already deprecated features in the next
major release. However, if we speak about a fast release, then maybe
removing would be an overkill and it should happen only in v6 -- to give
users more than one year to adjust their logic.
Also QLI, I believe nobody uses it and there should be no good reason to
maintain it.
I know TCS uses it, so it should be changed.
Good candidate, but first of all (in v.5) we should mark it as deprecated.
Sounds good.
I have the same question about dialect 1
A few years ago it was discussed but people continued (at least
continued that time) to use it...
Same as item 1 above. We can do it now, but perhaps better to wait a bit.
and multi-file databases (which already were supposed to be removed in
4.0).
OK for removal on my mind - not needed, not used for long ago, not
compatible with nbackup.
I remember (at least) Dalton Calford using them and voting strongly
against the removal. So perhaps we should deprecate them now but drop
only once we introduce tablespaces.
