Check a user-defined function (UDF)

In cqlsh, the DESCRIBE FUNCTION command outputs the full details of a user-defined function. Use the output from the DESCRIBE command to recreate the UDF.

Prerequisites

  • Keyspace exists

Verify that a UDF exists

  • CQL

  • Result

DESCRIBE FUNCTION cycling.flog;
TBD
