Db2 User Defined Functions (UDFs) are a largely ignored tool in the developer's armoury, providing exciting and in some cases unique capabilities. This presentation will go beyond creating simple UDFs to look at more complex use cases and capabilities. A particular focus will be on table UDFs and why they sometimes are better than stored procedures.
