/) i agree with you, i have the same problem many old software with stored
functions
but for example, well know standards (base64) could be implemented without
problems
what happened with mysql to only allow base64 at 2013, instead of 2006? i
send a patch in 2006 with a udf function and they just looked and forget
about that :/

now with json, why not implement it at mariadb? it's just to parse strings
i know, but it's very usefull when you have a document inside mariadb (blob
column) and need a information inside that column/json text

there're many others functions that could be implemented, and i know
mariadb have a jira tracker, with priorities, the point is, who tell what
is more important and what isn't, and who tell if we could implement or not?
