User-defined functions (UDFs) let you extend the system to perform operations that are not available through the built-in, system-defined functions provided by Snowflake. Snowflake currently supports the following languages for writing UDFs:

• SQL: A SQL UDF evaluates an arbitrary SQL expression and returns either scalar or tabular results.

• JavaScript: A JavaScript UDF lets you use the JavaScript programming language to manipulate data and return either scalar or tabular results.

• Java: A Java UDF lets you use the Java programming language to manipulate data and return scalar results.
