Assuming that you are talking about the parameter UdfAccess = FULL - do you
understand that this setting requires you to put the full file-path to the
UDF library into the module_name parameter of every UDF declaration?

Which means that your declaration is wrong for UdfAccess = Full

I can't see any reason at all to use UdfAccess = FULL in your test database
and then have to change all of your UDF declarations in the production
database before you can deploy it. There is no ALTER FUNCTION
statement: you will have to drop all of the functions and then redeclare
them with the correct module_name syntax.

Do you care at all about portability? FULL prevents the database from being
transportable. Think about it...
