Folks,

I have several functions in a 7.2.4 database that I accidentally REPLACEd 
while logged in as the superuser, instead of the db owner.   As a result, the 
db owner can no longer modify those functions -- they belong to the 
superuser.

As this is a production database, I can't drop the functions and re-create 
them as a different user ... the interruption in service would not be 
acceptable.   I was wondering whether there were any problems with either of 
the following methods:

A)  Updating the pg_proc table to change the function owner;
B)  Making the db_owner a superuser, replacing the functions, and then making 
the db_owner a non-superuser again.
 

I believe, either of two should work. I have done it many times in the 
past...
