Surely, there are valid cases of having a function create a function. Suppose (just off the top of my head), you create a helper function that generates triggers on a table for record archiving. I agree though that having a function modify itself sounds like something that is much better done as dynamic sql (inside a function). merlin -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
