some thinking. This is other functionality and can be nice in psql too - but it can be more automatic - only \ef"E" without others parameters - like show line on last error - without writing function name, without writing line number - both information can be in error buffer. But you have to design universal mechanism for editor call with line number parameter (isn't big problem probably). And it's slower - you have to start second application. What about some hypotetical statement Show Function? \sf name -- show function \sf name, line -- show function from line Pavel > regards, tom lane > -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
