Abstract
Disclosed is an approach to define non-SQL functions as a SQL macro, which is then processed inline with SQL statements. By inlining the macro into SQL, this approach avoids cross-engine context switches as well as making it possible for a SQL query optimizer to generate better plans that execute more efficiently.
