I have a web application that uses MariaDB on AWS RDS. Is there any way to add a custom server loaded function?
What exactly is going on:
I'm trying to add a Levenshtein distance search using the extension https://github.com/juanmirocks/Levenshtein-MySQL-UDF . The plugin works fine on my localhost, but I can't figure out how to get it to the RDS server. Is this even possible?
I tried using a stored sql function, but unfortunately this method is unusably slow for a large number of results. When using the extension, the search is in the order of milliseconds.
