Line 4:
The term "User Defined Function" is rare in modern programming, because it describes almost all code that is written, so there's no need to turn this into an enormous list. I mentioned BASIC because there's a language feature that is generally referred to as "user defined function". You don't talk about UDF in C or Lisp or any modern language, it's assumed.
I take the point about the significance client side vs server side processing, but I don't think the phrase "user defined function" really captures it; after all, in SQL all functions (such as arithmetic or string functions) are evaluated on the server.
I do agree that there would be no benefit in listing a lo tof languages.

How about this: move the BASIC section below the SQL section, and rename it as "other uses of the term" with something along the lines of "'User defined function' in some older programming languages was used to describe a function written by the programmer rather than included with the language - such usage has become obsolete since in structured programming virtually all program code consists of user defined functions" - would that be better?
