Description

Snowflake user defined functions do not support the same features as Oracle. To maintain the functional equivalence the function is transformed to a Snowflake stored procedure. This will affect their usage in queries.

Example Code

Input Code:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION FUNC01(x NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER AS
  VAR1 NUMBER;
  BEGIN
   -- some pl sql statements
   RETURN VAR1;
  END FUNC01;

Output Code:

/*** MSC-ERROR - MSCEWI3053 - USER DEFINED FUNCTION WAS TRANSFORMED TO SNOWFLAKE PROCEDURE ***/
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE PUBLIC.FUNC01(x FLOAT)
RETURNS FLOAT
LANGUAGE JAVASCRIPT
EXECUTE AS CALLER
AS
$$
   /* mobilize helpers */
   /* pl sql statements translation */
   return VAR1;
$$;
