Hi,
Attached is a small patch to improve the HINT message produced by
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION when the new function definition conflicts
with the old definition. With this patch the hint now includes the
function's name and signature as a directly pasteable SQL command. So,
for example, instead of
psql:functions.sql:70: ERROR: cannot change return type of existing function
HINT: Use DROP FUNCTION first.
it now says
psql:functions.sql:70: ERROR: cannot change return type of existing function
HINT: Use DROP FUNCTION foo(integer,integer) first.
which saves having to open the file, find the function and then type
in the DROP statement manually.
Regards,
Dean
