I am sending a review of this patch:
This feature shows source code for PL function when \df statement was used.
I am not too sure, if this functionality is necessary - but I don't see any
argument against. Sometimes it can be useful, mainly when we work with
overloaded functions.
This patch is trivial and there is not any problem with patching,
compilation and test. I have few ideas:
1. show full source code of function - like \sf output - the only body
outside table looks strange
2. is there possibility to isolate sources by some visual element (border,
line)?
Current output:
Source code of function public.bubble(a anyarray, OUT b anyarray):
declare loop_again boolean := true;
begin
while loop_again
loop
loop_again := false;
for i in array_lower(a,1) .. array_upper(a,1) - 1
loop
if (a[i] > a[i+1]) then
b[1] = a[i+1];
a[i+1] = a[i]; a[i] := b[1];
loop_again = true;
end if;
end loop;
end loop;
b := a;
end
Source code of function public.bubble2(a anyarray, OUT b anyarray):
declare loop_again boolean := true;
begin
while loop_again
loop
loop_again := false;
for i in array_lower(a,1) .. array_upper(a,1) - 1
loop
if (a[i] > a[i+1]) then
b[1] = a[i+1];
a[i+1] = a[i]; a[i] := b[1];
loop_again = true;
end if;
end loop;
end loop;
b := a;
end
Preferred output:
Source code of function public.bubble(a anyarray, OUT b anyarray):
------------------------------------------------------------------
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.bubble(a anyarray, OUT b anyarray)
RETURNS anyarray
LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $function$
declare loop_again boolean := true;
begin
while loop_again
loop
loop_again := false;
for i in array_lower(a,1) .. array_upper(a,1) - 1
loop
if (a[i] > a[i+1]) then
b[1] = a[i+1];
a[i+1] = a[i]; a[i] := b[1];
loop_again = true;
end if;
end loop;
end loop;
b := a;
end;
Source code of function public.bubble2(a anyarray, OUT b anyarray):
-------------------------------------------------------------------
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.bubble2(a anyarray, OUT b anyarray)
RETURNS anyarray
LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $function$
declare loop_again boolean := true;
begin
while loop_again
loop
loop_again := false;
for i in array_lower(a,1) .. array_upper(a,1) - 1
loop
if (a[i] > a[i+1]) then
b[1] = a[i+1];
a[i+1] = a[i]; a[i] := b[1];
loop_again = true;
end if;
end loop;
end loop;
b := a;
end;
3. append semicolon on the end - so copy/paste should to work
