Creates a table function definition.

ANSI Compliance

CREATE FUNCTION (Table Form) is compliant with the ANSI SQL:2011 standard.

Required Privileges

You must have explicit CREATE FUNCTION privileges on the database in which the table function is to be contained to perform the CREATE FUNCTION statement.

The system does not grant the CREATE FUNCTION privilege automatically when you create a database or user: you must grant that privilege explicitly.

CREATE FUNCTION is not granted implicitly on the databases and functions owned by a database or user unless the owner also has an explicit WITH GRANT OPTION privilege defined for itself.

Privileges Granted Automatically

The following privileges are granted automatically to the creator of a table function:
  • DROP FUNCTION
  • EXECUTE FUNCTION
