Available in

DSQL

Syntax
RECREATE FUNCTION funcname
  [ ( [ <in_params> ] ) ]
  RETURNS <domain_or_non_array_type> [COLLATE collation]
  [DETERMINISTIC]
  {<psql_function> | <external-module-body>}

!! See syntax of CREATE FUNCTION for further rules !!

The RECREATE FUNCTION statement creates a new stored function or recreates an existing one.If there is a function with this name already, the engine will try to drop it and then create a new one.Recreating an existing function will fail at COMMIT if the function has dependencies.

Note

Be aware that dependency errors are not detected until the COMMIT phase of this operation.

After a procedure is successfully recreated, existing privileges to execute the stored function and theprivileges of the stored function itself are dropped.
