User-defined functions

User-defined functions are a class of procedures that return a single value to the calling environment.

Note

SQL Anywhere does not make any assumptions about whether user-defined functions are thread-safe. This is the responsibility of the application developer.

The CREATE FUNCTION syntax differs slightly from that of the CREATE PROCEDURE statement.

  • No IN, OUT, or INOUT keywords are required, as all parameters are IN parameters.

  • The RETURNS clause is required to specify the data type being returned.

  • The RETURN statement is required to specify the value being returned.

  • Named parameters are not supported.
