User-Defined Functions (UDF) Management
1. Creating Functions (CREATE FUNCTION)
Basic Syntax
Example:
Parameter Explanation:
OR REPLACE
: If the function already exists, replace itparameter_list
: Parameter list in formatparameter_name data_type
return_type
: Return value data typeLANGUAGE plpython3u
: Specifies using PL/Python3 untrusted language
2. Querying Function Information
2.1 View All Custom Functions
2.2 View Specific Function Definition
2.3 View Function Detailed Information
2.4 View Function Dependencies
3. Dropping Functions (DROP FUNCTION)
3.1 Basic Syntax
3.2 Deletion Examples
Drop parameterless function:
Drop function with parameters:
Drop overloaded functions: When there are multiple functions with the same name but different parameters, you need to specify the specific parameter types:
3.3 Batch Delete Functions
4. Function Modification and Renaming
4.1 Modify Function (using CREATE OR REPLACE)
4.2 Modify Function Owner
5. Function Permission Management
5.1 View Function Permissions
5.2 Grant and Revoke Permissions
6. Practical Query Examples
