Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-672:
-------------------------------------

The Virtuoso syntax for declaring a user-defined aggregate can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtuoso_Universal_Server

CREATE AGGREGATE aggregate_name (parameter, parameter ...) [ RETURNS data_type ]
FROM
    init_procedure,
    acc_procedure,
    final_function
    [, merge_procedure ]

parameter : parameter_type name data_type

parameter_type : IN | INOUT

> Nicolas Dufour in an email thread titled "functions and list" started on November 2, 2005 requests the ability to create user defined aggregates.
> This functionality used to be in Cloudscape. It was disabled presumably because it was considered non-standard. However, most of the machinery needed for this feature is still in the code. We should re-enable user defined aggregates after we agree on acceptable syntax.
