It sounds like you want something like Oracle's packages. If so, you're
out of luck: postgresql doesn't support anything like that at this point.

Bundle the functions, type definitions, etc up in a .sql file and run
that on each database. It's cleanest if you do this by creating a new
schema called, say, 'shared', then SET search_path=shared before
creating the functions and types. That way they all go in one place
that's separated from the per-database content. To access them, SET
search_path=shared,public . You can "ALTER USER SET
search_path=shared,public" or "ALTER DATABASE SET
search_path=shared,public" to make it default.

See the manual for more information about schema, and the commands/options:

   SET
   search_path
   CREATE SCHEMA
   CREATE FUNCTION
