You could pg_dump the schema in the "custom" format (-Fc), then call pg_restore with -l to get the TOC, grep the TOC for functions, and feed that back into pg_restore with -L. It sounds like a lot, but it's pretty easy in practice, like so: $ sudo -u postgres pg_dump -Fc -s mydb >mydb.pgdfc $ pg_restore -l mydb.pgdfc >mydb.toc $ grep -E '^[0-9]+; [0-9]+ [0-9]+ FUNCTION' mydb.toc >mydb-fx.toc $ pg_restore -L mydb-fx.toc mydb.pgdfc The output of pg_restore is sql. This technique is extremely useful for other kinds of schema elements as well. -Reece -- Reece Hart, http://harts.net/reece/, GPG:0x25EC91A0 -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
