I would add more: if standard SQL rights are possible over UDFs or at least
I can grant a whole database the right to use the UDFs, then I could load
the UDF's definitions only once in a "master" database.
I love the idea of having critical UDFs stored in blobs. I've written
convoluted procedures to avoid carrying "external things" (UFFs) with my
databases.
Hopefully, IB6 has a UDF directory, so I'm not at risk of having an admin
deleting the UDF stuff in the system32 directory because he doesn't know the
file and deems it to be suspicious.
