Hi all,
I have a weired (for me at least) problem with a user defined function,
written in C. The function seems to return different results in different
runs (the code of the function does not contain random elements). Basically,
the function calculates a score based on a column in a table and an input
value. So I do something like this:
select * from table order by udf(column, 'input_value') desc;
For my understanding, this should give the same result always. But if I run
many statements (execution is from a java program and I can do it in parallel
threads) so that they overlap (the udf on a large table takes 5-10 s on a
slow machine), the results of some queries are different. If I have enough
time between statements, it seems to work, i. e. the result is always the
same. I would have thought the statements are independent, even if executed
on different jdbc connections in parallel.
Does somebody have an idea?
Or could somebody give an idea on debugging? Normally I would try to debug the
code to see what goes on, but how can I do this in a udf? Can I log in the
udf?
Thanks for any hints,
Stefan
