> Document context-aware table functions.
> ---------------------------------------
>
> Key: DERBY-6467
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6467
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 10.11.0.0
> Reporter: Rick Hillegas
> Assignee: Kim Haase
>
> Now that we have added AwareVTI and VTIContext to the public api, it would be good to document how to use them. Perhaps we could add a "Writing a context-aware table function" subtopic under the "Programming Derby-style table functions" topic in the Developer's Guide.
> As an example, the new subsection could use ArchiveVTI together with the script which is part of the 2014-02-02 comment on DERBY-6117.
> Context-aware table functions are useful when you need to describe a family of results which have the following properties:
> 1) Each result in the family has a shape which is determined by a different table.
> 2) There may be several results associated with a given table. In addition to having the same shape, the sub-family of results differ from one another based on some variables which cannot be represented as ? parameters in a SELECT statement.
