The following table briefly outlines the differences among the different function identifiers:

Function name function_name The identifier used to call the function from an SQL request.
  • If a specific name is assigned to the function, function_name is not the name by which the dictionary knows the function as a database object, and it need not be unique within its containing database or user.
  • If no specific name is assigned to the function, the function name is the data dictionary is function_name.
