Rules for Using Custom GaussDB(DWS) External Functions (pgSQL/Java)

  • [Notice] Java UDFs can perform some Java logic calculation. Do not encapsulate services in Java UDFs.
  • [Notice] Do not connect to a database in any way (for example, by using JDBC) in Java functions.
  • [Notice] Only the data types listed in the following table can be used. User-defined types and complex data types (Java Array and derived classes) are not supported.
  • [Notice] User-defined aggregation functions (UDAFs) and user-defined table-generating functions (UDTFs) are not supported.
