Re: Is there a POW (power) or COS function in derby

Hi Jay,

As Thomas points out, the builtin COS and EXP functions may be useful to 
you. If these functions don't give you what you need, you can always 
write your own function in Java and register it with Derby using the 
CREATE FUNCTION command. This command is described in the "SQL language 
reference" section of the Derby Reference Guide: 
http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.3/ref/

Hope this helps,
-Rick
