The problem is that there's absolutely no way to do the equivalent of a plain \dt and get a list of just your user functions. That's a real headache and it gets worse as we add more and more system functions too. It might be cute to see if the pattern matches any user functions and if not try again with system functions. So you would still get results if you did "\df rtrim" for example. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com Ask me about EnterpriseDB's On-Demand Production Tuning -- Sent via pgsql-patches mailing list (pgsql-patches@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-patches
