Helen,

For letting UDF access data without the need for an additional
connection, which would be a very bad idea.

> and "What whole new worlds?"

Being able to commit/rollback work done by a UDF, for example. To me, it
seems a really useful thing WRT extending the server, but as I said the
disadvantages should be considered. That's why I asked.

BTW, the implementation of a couple more internal variables to hold the
current connection and transaction handle should be easy if not trivial.

Should we move this discussion to IB-Architect or IB-Priorities or such?
Ciao
