Hi, For the busy ones, here's my question (then i explain): is it possible to add an UDF to a binary distr (.rpm for RH-8, downloaded from mysql.com) ?
I'm having problems in creating an UDF (i create but when a use it mysqld restarts automatically). I've already created UDF functions in the past, i think i was lucky.... I've been reading the manual and now i'm really confused.. There says: "...For the UDF mechanism to work, functions must be written in C or C++ and your operating system must support dynamic loading. ..." "...For mysqld to be able to use UDF functions, you should configure MySQL with --with-mysqld-ldflags=-rdynamic ..." http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Adding_UDF.html I saw the spec that came with MySQL-3.23.53 and there is --with-mysqld-ldflags='-all-static' So, i assumed that i could not create the UDF with this binary distr. Since i would have to compile mysql, i thought in adding a native function instead of an UDF. But then i read this: "...You can add UDFs to a binary MySQL distribution. Native functions require you to modify a source distribution..." May i add UDFs to a binary MySQL distr, and keep upgrading mysql only using the rpms or do i must get the source and compile it with .....=rdynamic ?
