Mamta A. Satoor commented on DERBY-672:
---------------------------------------

I agree with Kathey, I would prefer us adding a new stored procedure rather than adding non-SQL compliant SQL. We have used procedures for other non-standard features like update/drop statistics and it will be good to follow the same path for any non-compliant work.

> 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.
