Detailed Description

Interface for declaring parameters and return types for, and instantiating, an associated AnalyticFunction.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum Vertica::UDXFactory::UDXType

inherited

The type of UDX instance this factory produces

Member Function Documentation

virtual AnalyticFunction* Vertica::AnalyticFunctionFactory::createAnalyticFunction ( ServerInterface &  srvInterface )

pure virtual

Called when Vertica needs a new AnalyticFunction object to process a function call.

Returns

an AnalyticFunction object which implements the UDx API described by this metadata.

Parameters

srvInterface

a ServerInterface object used to communicate with Vertica

Note

More than one object may be instantiated per query.

virtual void Vertica::UDXFactory::getParameterType ( ServerInterface &  srvInterface, SizedColumnTypes &  parameterTypes  )

inlinevirtualinherited

Function to tell Vertica the name and types of parameters that this function uses. Vertica will use this to warn function callers that certain parameters they provide are not affecting anything, or that certain parameters that are not being set are reverting to default values.

Reimplemented in Vertica::ParserFactory.

virtual void Vertica::UDXFactory::getPerInstanceResources ( ServerInterface &  srvInterface, VResources &  res  )

inlinevirtualinherited

Set the resource required for each instance of the UDX Object subclass. Users should override only one of the following methods.

Parameters

srvInterface	a ServerInterface object used to communicate with Vertica
res	a VResources object used to tell Vertica what resources are needed by the UDX

Reimplemented in Vertica::UDLFactory.

Referenced by Vertica::UDXFactory::getPerInstanceResources().

virtual void Vertica::UDXFactory::getPerInstanceResources ( ServerInterface &  srvInterface, VResources &  res, const SizedColumnTypes &  inputTypes  )

inlinevirtualinherited

Set the resource required for each instance of the UDX Object subclass. Users should override only one of the following methods.

Parameters

srvInterface	a ServerInterface object used to communicate with Vertica
res	a VResources object used to tell Vertica what resources are needed by the UDX
argTypes	Provides the data types of arguments that this UDT was called with

Reimplemented in Vertica::UDLFactory.

virtual void Vertica::FunctionFactory::getPrototype ( ServerInterface &  srvInterface, ColumnTypes &  argTypes, ColumnTypes &  returnType  )

pure virtualinherited

Provides the argument and return types of the UDX

Implemented in Vertica::MultiPhaseTransformFunctionFactory.

Referenced by Vertica::ScalarFunctionFactory::getReturnType().

virtual void Vertica::FunctionFactory::getReturnType ( ServerInterface &  srvInterface, const SizedColumnTypes &  argTypes, SizedColumnTypes &  returnType  )

pure virtualinherited

Function to tell Vertica what the return types (and length/precision if necessary) of this UDX are.

For CHAR/VARCHAR types, specify the max length,

For NUMERIC types, specify the precision and scale.

For Time/Timestamp types (with or without time zone), specify the precision, -1 means unspecified/don't care

For IntervalYM/IntervalDS types, specify the precision and range

For all other types, no length/precision specification needed

Parameters

argTypes	Provides the data types of arguments that this UDT was called with. This may be used to modify the return types accordingly.
returnType	User code must fill in the names and data types returned by the UDT.

Implemented in Vertica::MultiPhaseTransformFunctionFactory, and Vertica::ScalarFunctionFactory.

virtual UDXType Vertica::AnalyticFunctionFactory::getUDXFactoryType ( )

inlineprotectedvirtual

Returns

the object type internally used by Vertica

Implements Vertica::UDXFactory.
