getName()

Every nzLua UDX must have a getName() method defined. The getName() method determines the name of the function that is created in the database when the nzLua code is compiled and installed.

The getName() method must return a single string. The string returned by getName() is not case sensitive and can contain only normal characters that can be used in an unquoted identifier in the Netezza database. This limits a Netezza UDX name to the standard ASCII alphabetic characters and UTF8 alphabetic characters and the underscore symbol.

When the UDX is compiled, the name will be converted to the default system catalog case that is normally upper case.

Example

function getName()
return "testfunction"
end
