SHOW FUNCTIONS

Synopsis

SHOW FUNCTIONS [ FROM schema ] [ LIKE pattern ]

Description

List functions in schema or all functions in the current session path. This can include built-in functions, functions from a custom plugin, and User-defined functions.

For each function returned, the following information is displayed:

  • Function name
  • Return type
  • Argument types
  • Function type
  • Deterministic
  • Description

Use the optional FROM keyword to only list functions in a specific catalog and schema. The location in schema must be specified as cataglog_name.schema_name.

Specify a pattern in the optional LIKE clause to filter the results to the desired subset.

Examples

List all UDFs and plugin functions in the default schema of the example catalog:

SHOW FUNCTIONS FROM example.default;

List all functions with a name beginning with array:

SHOW FUNCTIONS LIKE 'array%';

List all functions with a name beginning with cf:

SHOW FUNCTIONS LIKE 'cf%';

Example output:

Function | Return Type | Argument Types | Function Type | Deterministic | Description
------------------+-------------+----------------+---------------+---------------+-----------------------------------------
cf_getgroups | varchar | | scalar | true | Returns the current session's groups
