+ endterm="sql-createfunction-title"> command links the SQL function
+ to the C source function in one of two ways. If the SQL function
+ has the same name as the C source function the first form of the
+ statement is used. The string argument in the AS clause is the
+ full pathname of the file that contains the dynamically loadable
+ compiled object. If the name of C function is different from the
+ name of the SQL function, then the second form is used. In this
+ form the AS clause takes two string arguments, the first is the
+ full pathname of the dynamically loadable object file, and the
+ second is the link symbol that the dynamic loader should search
+ for. This link symbol is just the function name in the C source
+ code.
+
+ After it is used for the first time, a dynamically loaded, user
+ function is retained in memory, and future calls to the function
+ only incur the small overhead of a symbol table lookup.
- The string which specifies the object file (the string in the AS clause)
- should be the full path
- of the object code file for the function, bracketed by quotation
- marks. (
Postgres will not compile a
- function automatically; it must
- be compiled before it is used in a CREATE FUNCTION
- command. See below for additional information.)
+ The string which specifies the object file (the string in the AS
+ clause) should be the full path of the object
+ code file for the function, bracketed by quotation marks. If a
+ link symbol is used in the AS clause, the link symbol should also be
+ bracketed by single quotation marks, and should be exactly the
+ same as the name of function in the C source code. On UNIX systems
+ the command nm will print all of the link
+ symbols in a dynamically loadable object.
+ (
Postgres will not compile a function
+ automatically; it must be compiled before it is used in a CREATE
+ FUNCTION command. See below for additional information.)
Name Space Conflicts
- CREATE FUNCTION can decouple a C language
- function name from the name of the entry point. This is now the
- preferred technique to accomplish function overloading.
+ As of
Postgres v6.6, the alternative
+ form of the AS clause for the SQL CREATE
+ FUNCTION command described in
+ linkend="sql-createfunction-title" endterm="sql-createfunction-title">
+ decouples the SQL function name from the function name in the C
+ source code. This is now the preferred technique to accomplish
+ function overloading.
