OrientDB supports Functions

Since 1.2.0 OrientDB supports Functions. A Function is an executable unit of code that can takes parameters and returns a result. Using the Functions you can do Functional programming where logic and data are all together in a central place. Functions are similar to the Stored Procedures of RDBMS.

These the features of OrientDB Functions:

• are persistent
• can be written in Javascript, but Ruby, Scala, Java and other languages are coming
• can be executed via Java
• can be executed via REST since each function is exported as a URI
• can call each other
• supports recursion
• have automatic mapping of parameters by position and name
• plugins can inject new objects to being used by functions
