The only way I can think of is to dump the specific function using pg_dump
with appropriate flags. This enables you to see it.
Editing would be editing the resulting file, dropping the function and
running the file through psql. However, there is a catch here - last time I
tried this was on 6.2.1 - and this is that if you have a table that relies
on this function for default or constraint, I think you'll run into a
problem. This is probably because the new function definition has a
different OID.
