If one of them is wrong, trust isql. Stopping and starting the
server won't make any difference: it's in the database where
function declarations are made.

Do you commit the transaction after executing the statement declaring
the function? It's at least plausible that the EMS utility is
showing you the work of a single uncommitted transaction...if you
shut down that app and restart it, do you still see it in the
function list? What about if you declare a function (anything you
like) from ib_udf?

And - please pardon me if I'm insulting your expertise - you do
understand that UDFs are declared in the database in which they are
to be used, right? i.e., it won't work to declare the UDF in one
database and then try to invoke it in another...
