I found myself in need of defining a function and did some searching of the mailing list archives:
<snip> Anhaus, Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu, 15 Feb 2001 07:47:33 +0100 Sorry, the current sapdb version does not support any user defined functions. This will come with one of the next releases. Thomas SAP Labs Berlin </snip> <snip> Zabach, Elke [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri, 26 Jul 2002 09:58:22 +0200 Oh my goodness, no. That should never had happened. Yes, we started implementing functions long ago. But after a short while we stopped it. Since then things with higher priority were there, then the decision was made that user-defined-functions will not be provided by SAP DB. (Please do NOT start a discussion why and if it wouldn't be nice to have some. We have had this (discussion) .) And at any time it was forgotten to destroy that statement you executed. Sorry to create some hope and then disappoint you. Elke SAP Labs Berlin </snip> <snip> Anhaus, Thomas [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed, 12 Feb 2003 07:41:40 +0100 Sorry, SAPDB does not support this feature yet and there are no plan to provide it in the near future. However, release 7.4.4 will support user defined functions based on our stored procedure language. Regards, Thomas </snip> so my question is will there be user-defined functions or not? also it would be nice to have a roadmap published to know what to expect in the future. cheers )) Peter S�nnergren (( Software Engineer C|~~| tel: +46 707 491228 `--' IBFS Development AB JAVA http://www.interbizzfs.com _______________________________________________ sapdb.general mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.sap.com/mailman/listinfo/sapdb.general
