A user MAL function created in one connection is destroyed when logoff. What's the correct way to persistent it? I finally want to create a SQL function based on this MAL function.

For example:

msql>function user.malhistogram(db:str,tablename:str, columnname:str):bat[:any_1,:int];                

     X_2 := sql.mvc();                                               

     X_3 := sql.bind(X_2,db,tablename,columnname,0);                 

     return aggr.histogram(X_3);

end malhistogram;                                                          

msql>h := malhistogram("voc","voyages","trip");

msql>io.print(h);

#-----------------#

# h      t             # name

# int    int         # type

#-----------------#

[ 1,         3038   ]

[ 2,         1907   ]

[ 3,         1288   ]

[ 4,         852     ]

...

thanks a lot.
