Hello

Indeed, re-execution of this code without any modifications in it produces the same result.

Still I see here two problems.
  • Inconsistency - see INSERT vs. UPDATE. In general, the function and \sf produce the result that references parameters by name if the original had the same type of references. INSERT INTO ... SELECT <parameter value> is an exception in this sense. Please, see also the example at the end of the letter.
  • The problem of positional references in general is that changing the order of parameters requires changing the body as well, i.e., the result lost some of its qualities. Thus, one could argue that in this case the input and output are not equivalent.

Best regards

With a SELECT in the original function there is now positional reference instead of referring by name.

 CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.f_reg_product(p_product_code integer, p_price numeric)
  RETURNS void
  LANGUAGE sql
  SECURITY DEFINER
  SET search_path TO 'public', 'pg_temp'
 BEGIN ATOMIC
  INSERT INTO product (product_code, price)  SELECT $1 AS p_product_code,
              $2 AS p_price;
 END

As you mentioned, p_e_mail in the UPDATE statement is not replaced
with a positional reference. But 'f_reg_product.p_e_mail' in the
UPDATE statement seems to correctly refer to the function argument
'p_e_mail'. Does the execution of the function produced by
pg_get_functiondef() produce a different result from the original's
one?
