[[SQL]] is not the only [[programming language]] that uses user defined functions. For example [[ColdFusion]] also uses them. I’m not sure how many other languages use this term however. Should this article be expanded to include other uses of user defined functions? <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:Rwblackburn|Rwblackburn]] ([[User talk:Rwblackburn|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Rwblackburn|contribs]]) 13:50, April 15, 2005 UTC.</small><!-- [Template:Unsigned] -->
:Yes... it should :) Unfortunately I don't know enough to do it without some research. —[[User:Seqsea|Seqsea]] ([[User talk:Seqsea|talk]]) 00:44, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
::Obviously, almost any useful programming language lets you re-use your own code. I don't think that is the point of UDF. (Note: I am an Electrical Engineer who can program, not a Computer Science major, so I may be wrong here!) I believe the point is that SQL - Q is QUERY. So if you can get the SERVER to do something for you that is not a query, that's a big deal. The computation is offloaded from the client. I think that [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_Defined_Function&curid=1712665&diff=58964483&oldid=57450699 this diff] should be reverted because if not it is going to explode into a [[List_of_hello_world_programs|Hello World]] page showing how to define a function in every possible language, drowning out the uniqueness of the SQL implementation... -- <span style="text-decoration: none;">[[User:Revragnarok|<font color="#696969">RevRagnarok</font>]] <sup>[[User_talk:Revragnarok |Talk]] [[Special:Contributions/Revragnarok|Contrib]] [[User:Revragnarok/VandalismLog|Reverts]]</sup></span> 17:26, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
