How to find the database name in netezza in which SQL Extensions Toolkit is intalled?

I am trying to find out the database in which SQL Extensions Toolkit was installed.

Solution

  • One thing to keep in mind is that the SQL Extension Toolkit is a collection of user defined functions, and they can be installed in multiple databases, and each installation could be at a different level.

    If you have access to the Netezza host, you can use nz_find_object to look for the REGEXP_VERSION function which is in every SQL Extensions installation (and will also then tell you what version is installed).

    [nz@netezza ~]$ /nz/support/bin/nz_find_object REGEXP_VERSION

      The Object Name Is   | It Is Of Type | Its 'objid' Is | In The Database | In The Schema 
-----------------------+---------------+----------------+-----------------+---------------
 REGEXP_VERSION#239027 | FUNCTION      |         239027 | SQLEXT          | ADMIN
(1 row)

    Or you can use this SQL:

    select OBJNAME, DATABASE from _t_object o
left outer join _v_database d on o.objdb = d.objid
where OBJNAME like 'REGEXP_VERSION#%';
        OBJNAME        | DATABASE 
-----------------------+----------
 REGEXP_VERSION#239027 | SQLEXT
(1 row)

select sqlext..REGEXP_VERSION();                                                                            REGEXP_VERSION
