script_param::=

script parameter for execute script

A scripting program can be created and dropped by using the statements CREATE SCRIPT and DROP SCRIPT.

For information about the script language, see Scripting.

Content and parameters of a scripting program are integrated in the corresponding system tables (for example, EXA_ALL_SCRIPTS).

For more information, see Metadata System Tables.
The return value of a scripting program can be a table or a rowcount. It is specified as option in the CREATE SCRIPT statement.
When specifying the option WITH OUTPUT, the return value of the scripting program is ignored. In this case always a result table is returned. The table contains all debug messages that are created through the function output() when the scripting program is executed.

For more information, see Debug Output in Scripting.
Contrary to views, a scripting program is executed with the privileges of the executing user and not with the privileges of the owner of the scripting program.
