:In fact, I think only ColdFusion and MySQL use this term. Google turns up some uses with Microsoft SQL Server, but only third-party stuff; no official production documentation. This is an uncommon name for a ubiquitous thing. -[[User:Slamb|Slamb]] 00:06, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
 
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?
