Presumably would would have to link MyDll.dll against other
MyOtherDll.dll.  Or you can use the command LOAD to load arbitary DLLs
and have your code use them.

Subject: [CYGWIN] question concerning dll linking

Hello,

 

I' d like to know if it is possible to create a C function (and the associated dll) that calls functions from another dll ?

 

For example

 

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION MyFunction() RETURNS INTEGER
  AS 'MyDll'

  LANGUAGE 'c';

 

with code for MyFunction in MyDll.dll and some others calls in MyOtherDll.dll.

 

Thank you for your answer.

 

B.S.

I can't see any reason why not.
