Description

It would be great to have support for `CREATE FUNCTION` statement to define UDFs.

I think it makes sense to develop the more minimal variant of BigQuery first: support for `LANGUAGE` (e.g. javascript) and `AS` (sql) or even sql-only to start with.

Research direction

Start by comparing the requested minimal CREATE FUNCTION syntax with the linked BigQuery and PostgreSQL references, focusing on LANGUAGE and AS. Done means the parser accepts the agreed SQL-only or LANGUAGE/AS form and rejects unsupported forms consistently; the issue does not name files or tests to run.
