So I am clear, what you are saying is that the definitions for the 12
functions you list above are all contained(external to the database) in
a text file words.sql. You would prefer that they be in separate files
externally with the ability to aggregate them in the words.sql by just
using an include statement instead of the complete text of each
function. Is this correct?
