A B commented on DERBY-716:
---------------------------
Dan> Maybe checking the java types would lead to the same answer, but logically
it's a check of
Dan> SQL types only. Table functions should follow the same logic as regular
functions.
Okay.
Rick> I hope we are not talking past one another.
Oops, I think we were.
Thank you both for clarifying...
> Re-enable VTIs
> --------------

> Key: DERBY-716
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-716
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: SQL
> Reporter: Rick Hillegas
> Attachments: functionTables.html, functionTables.html
>
>
> Cloudscape used to expose Virtual Table Interfaces, by which any class which
> implemented ResultSet could be included in a query's FROM list. Derby still
> exposes a number of these VTIs as diagnostic tools. However, Derby now
> prevents customers from declaring their own VTIs. The parser raises an error
> if a VTI's package isn't one of the Derby diagnostic packages.
> This is a very powerful feature which customers can use to solve many
> problems. We should discuss the reasons that it was disabled and come up with
> a plan for putting this power back into our customers' hands.
