Hello, This is exactly what I needed. It works just fine for me, except when a function is being created through the pgAdmin III (version 1.02 under Windows). In this case, I think functions are being stored in the database with a CR/LF at the end, what the plpgsh engine does not like at all!
Except this, that's fine.
