Information technology — Guidance for the use of database language SQL — Part 7: Polymorphic table functions

This document describes the definition and use of polymorphic table functions in SQL. The Report discusses the following features of the SQL Language: — The processing model of polymorphic table functions in the context of SQL. — The creation and maintenance of polymorphic table functions. — Issues related to methods of implementing polymorphic table functions. — How polymorphic table functions are invoked by application programs. — Issues concerning compilation, optimization, and execution of polymorphic table functions.
