In some languages used for stored procedures in PostgreSQL it is possible
to catch some programming errors statically.
At least Perl has this property (see -c in perldoc perlrun ) and it
seems that PL/PGsql and SQL too allows to parse a function definition
and catch errors in it without actual execution
It would be be very nice feature if upon CREATE FUNCTION statement
these checks would be performed.
