Description

Note:

  • This option is applicable only when the Enable Client Side UDF Upload (or EnableUDFUpload) option is enabled. For more information, see Enable Client Side UDF Upload.
  • The connector does not accept relative paths.

The full path to a directory on the client machine that contains UDF files. The connector automatically prepends this path to the file names that you specify in the EXTERNAL NAME clauses for CREATE FUNCTION or REPLACE FUNCTION calls. This enables you to write EXTERNAL NAME clauses that only specify file names.

If your UDF files are stored in various different directories and you want to specify the full path and name of the files when writing EXTERNAL NAME clauses, then set this option to an empty string.

Important:

We recommend setting this option to a specific directory path instead of an empty string. Empty strings might not be supported in future releases.

Setting this option to an empty string can present a security risk. Doing so enables the connector to upload UDF files from any directory, so it is possible for a third party to modify the path and cause an unexpected UDF file to be uploaded to the database.
