trace_enabling_specification
Output tracing is enabled for all user-defined functions or external SQL procedures the current user performs in subsequent DML requests in the current session.
The UDF trace output is written to the materialized global temporary trace table defined by table_name.
See CREATE USER for more information about defining default character data types for users.
mask_string
An arbitrary character string to be interpreted by any UDF performed in the current session.
An arbitrary character string to be interpreted by any UDF performed by the current session.
The string is limited to 256 logical characters in the character set defined for the user. This means, for example, that the string has a maximum length of 256 bytes if the UDF was created under a Latin character data type, but has a maximum length of 512 bytes if created under a Unicode character data type.
UDFs convert this string to the default character data type in effect when the function was created, not the default character data type defined for the user for the session.
All necessary conversions are done by the system. If, for example, a UDF was created with Unicode, but is called by a user with a session character set of Latin, the trace string is translated to Latin before it is passed to the UDF. If a pre-conversion trace string contains characters that have no equivalent in the target character set, the system returns an error. See SQL External Routine Programming for more information.
database_name
Name of the containing database or user for table_name.
The database name is only required when the table is contained in a database other than the current default database for the session.
table_name
Name of a global temporary trace table into which function trace data is to be written.
See the SET SESSION FUNCTION TRACE “Function Trace Output Table” topic in Teradata Vantage™ - SQL Data Definition Language Detailed Topics , B035-1184 and CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TRACE TABLE for further information.
OFF
Currently active UDF tracing is disabled for the current user in the current session, so the option to output anything for a function is turned off.
