Are there plans to add support for using deterministic stored functions in the definition of a virtual column?
I could just make a new view that selects all the entries from the table and then applies the functions to the new columns, but I would prefer to keep the data in the same table rather than in a separate view. More importantly, the virtual columns allow me to refer to the value of previously-defined columns but defining a view for this derived data either requires me to use a doubly-nested subquery or to manually expand the column definitions until they no longer require reference to previous columns.
Not at the moment, sorry. But you can create a task at jira.mariadb.org to make sure your request isn't forgotten.
