Question

Hi, I have a custom user defined function that has to do quite a bit of work in setup (loading data/model from remote Postgres database). Is it possible to do some sort of initialisation of a custom function when my application starts rather than when I invoke the function in Eva DB? One way I thought of doing this was a simple client/server model using sockets running on the host where the server would retrieve the data/model from remote database and perform any initialisation and the custom function would act as a client to send a request to the server. I don't really want to go down this route however if there is something I can use that is built into Eva DB which might be easier.
