At this time function bodies do not have the dependency tracking capabilities that a majority of the system has, so it is unable to complain when you remove or alter an object it depends on. With SQL functions it should be feasible. For functions that build queries on the fly this will be virtually impossible. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
