There are two things you have to do to use an external function:

1. Configure the server to look for the library (module) in a particular
location (1.5 and later). In firebird.conf, to use the ib_udf library in
its standard location, the parameter UDFAccess must be set. The default is
correct if you allowed ib_udf to be installed in the default location.

2. Declare the function to the database and commit. You will find the
declaration for floor() in the file ib_udf.sql.
