SHOW FUNCTIONS

Synopsis

SHOW FUNCTIONS [ LIKE pattern ]

Description

List all the functions available for use in queries. For each function returned, the following information is displayed:

• Function name

• Return type

• Argument types

• Function type

• Deterministic

• Description

Specify a pattern in the optional LIKE clause to filter the results to the desired subset. For example, the following query allows you to find functions beginning with array:

SHOW FUNCTIONS LIKE 'array%';

SHOW FUNCTIONS works with built-in functions as well as with custom functions. In the following example, three custom functions beginning with cf are available:

SHOW FUNCTIONS LIKE 'cf%';
