Hi!
I noticed that FB 1.5 added UDF dependencies. That is, if I try to drop
a UDF that's being used somewhere, it doesn't work, whereas in IB 6.0 it
does.
I find this to be an anoying feature. Is there any way to disactivate
it? Or else, is there any way to alter a UDF declaration? The only thing
I've found that works is to update the system tables, but you shouldn't
have to do that sort of thing normally. There ought to exist a proper
DDL statement that lets you redefine a UDF completely.
Is there?
Thanks!
