No. Two functions with the same name, but different returns types (for
instance) are valid and 2 different functions.
You can define a function and change the body of the function, that's not a problem, but with different returns you
willhave 2 different functions.
Please don't top-posting here, thx.

Sorry for top-posting here. :S I won't do it anymore.
The idea is to modify the original function in order to meet the requirements.
It's not to create two functions, it's to modify the original one.
Internally, pgAdmin should invoke to the "alter function" command so that this modification doesn't create another
function.
If I have created funcA with return type smallint but I would like to modify to integer, pgAdmin shouldn't create
anotherone but let us directly modify the original funcA's return type.
Sorry for my English (I am non English native). I don't know if I have explained my issue and my complaint correctly.
Best regards.
