overwrite output

Hi there,

AFAICT the STORE function doesn't provide a way to overwrite the output. I
guess you could use your own storage UDF to accomplish that but is there
also another way of doing that?

Thanks

you could have "rmf thefile;" before it, meaning just deleting it and then
storing...or do you need some different set of guarantees?
