I need some dateutils.pas functions in server stored procedures. Only
way I see is create an external module (dll) for doing this and more
powerful actions.

Despite EDB deploys an "external module template", would be great to
see a complete external module source code with some real world
functions to learn how to build my own ones.

Thanks!

The nearest I think you'll find currently is in my post below

textsearch, text filters & word generators

There's a non-indexed textsearch function

Don't forget, if they might be of general use post them here

Send me a partial list of the functions that you want, and I'll work up a
starting point external module for you.  It shouldn't take more than a few
minutes, and will give everyone something to work with for future
implementations.

I'm hoping eventually to start having on-going public external modules on
this newsgroup that everyone can contribute to and bring forward with new
functionality.  Something like one for file I/O, one for XML, etc.

I hope can do it today

This would be cool. And same for stored procedures and functions doing
common tasks.

Thanks to Roy and Tim suggestions, here is my little contribution with
a set of some DateUtils.pas functions in a EDB external module.
In fact is was so easy I can't believe it !!

Cool, thanks very much.  And yes, it is very simple to do.

Thanks, Tiago and Roy for the examples for functions.

Does anyone have an example for a stored procedure in an external module?
