Hi everyone,
I know both Oracle and SQlserver but I am new to progress openedge database. Does a progress openedge database support user defined function? If yes then could you give a simple example?

You can create user defined functions in the 4GL (ABL):
function f returns integer ( inString as character ).
return integer( string ).
end.
display f( "123" ).
Don't confuse the database with the language. OpenEdge has its own langauge called ABL. It supports functions, and an alternative called procedures (similar, slightly different usage). It also supports OO with its own class, methods, properties, and events.
The OpenEdge database supports both stored procedures written in java and triggers written in ABL.
You can find all the docs for both here on the communities site.
