Forum OpenACS Q&A: Response to Notes package inline functions

I believe inline_0 is a temp function.  If you will look at the code in it its not possible to run it on psql.  Situation such as you need to select a value into a var and use this var on another operation or have a if and then clause.  So inorder for you to perform things that can only be done in a function you create a temp function.  I have done this for some of my create and even drop scripts although I did not use inline_0.  Maybe its a name convention.  Not sure though.

Maybe someone with more experience can further elaborate on this or contradict my explanation.
