User-declared Functions

DataDirect XQuery uses intelligent function inlining so that user-declared functions can be executed in the database.

Example 15. Inlining User-declared Functions

XQuery

declare function local:popularShares($quantity) {
  $quantity > 10000
};
collection('HOLDINGS')/HOLDINGS/SHARES[local:popularShares(.)]

SQL

SELECT ALL
  nrm5."SHARES" AS RACOL1
FROM
  "PEPPINO"."HOLDINGS" nrm5
WHERE
  nrm5."SHARES" > 10000
