I have urgent need of a udf (for linux) which can raise a float to
any
given power (which is also a float)

eg x ^ n


I have tried 'udf_power' which is included in tbudf. It works fine in
sql, but when it is called within nested stored procedures (which is
how
I need to use it), the firebird machine hits 100% cpu and stays there.

If anyone can help it would be appreciated
