The MariaDB server imposes a number of limitations to user-defined functions for security purposes.

  • The INSERT privilege for the mysql database is required to run CREATE FUNCTION UDF, as a record will be added to the mysql.func-table.
  • The DELETE privilege for the mysql database is required to run DROP FUNCTION UDF as the correpsonding record will be removed from the mysql.func-table.
  • UDF object files can only be placed in the plugin directory, as specified by the value of the plugin_dir system variable.
