Performs either or both of the following functions.
  • Controls whether an existing function can run in protected mode as a separate process or in unprotected mode as part of the database.
  • Recompiles C or C++ functions or relinks Java functions and redistributes them.
Java UDFs must always run in protected mode, so you cannot use this statement to change their protection mode.

This statement is a Teradata extension to the ANSI SQL:2011 standard.

Required Privileges

To alter a function definition, you must have the ALTER FUNCTION privilege on that function.

There are no privileges granted automatically.
