Hi,

This question is with reference to tuning.....Developers are repeatdely using same code ( for example if they want to add as second to date ther are using like date+1/86400) and they want to use something like following function so that they can write addsecond(date) in their code...

function AddSecond(RefDate date) return date

				as
				begin
				 return RefDate + 1/86400;
				end;

Issus is now of performance.......it looks like using function is degrading the performance ......Does it advisable to use extensive use of UDF in code????

Thanks
