We don't have such a facility at the moment, but it sounds like a
reasonable feature request.
We could allow you to mark a function alias as having "free-form
parameters". Then it would be up to the function code to parse the
arguments.
Something like
CREATE ALIAS DATE_ADD FREEFORM FOR "H2Functions.dateAdd";
Where the method would have to be defined like this:
public static void dateAdd(String[] params) {}
Thomas, what do you think of my proposed syntax?
