The following examples show valid cases of SHOW METHOD.

  • This example reports the SQL create text for a method that has the specific method name polygon_mbr.
         SHOW SPECIFIC METHOD SYSUDTLIB.polygon_mbr;
  • This example reports the SQL create text for a method that has the name polygon_mbr. Note that the method has no parameters, so no parameter data type list is specified.
         SHOW METHOD SYSUDTLIB.area() FOR circle;
  • This example reports the SQL create text for a method that has the name in_state and is associated with the UDT named circle. To be distinguished from another method definition on circle named in_state, the specification includes the parameter data type list for the method.
