accessing objects from within functions has been a useful feature in other DBMS (eg SQL Server)
you are able to build a reusable set of functions for lookups, data validations, etc that can be use in other SPs, querys, etc allowing the developers to join to functions as virtual tables, select only certain values from the output, etc.
While Teradata is superior is many areas, it seems they are about 5-6 years behind other DBMSs when is comes to being developer friendly.
Are there plans to add this capabilty?
