<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue'>Since the proposal is to enhance
the create-methods, the default value for the category parameter needs to be a
neutral value like FdoFunctionCategoryType_Unspecified to be backwards
compatible.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:blue'>I don’t agree that FDO should
have a function-to-category mapping. How many functions should be part of the
mapping structure? There are lots of them in – for example –
Oracle. Should they all be known to FDO and mapped to a category? It is the
provider that sets the list of supported expression functions together with the
supported signatures and at that time the category may be set as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
