OK, I have a mostly working pg_get_functiondef now, and some questions
about the remaining pieces:
1. Why is "prorows" a float4? Should I print it that way, i.e. "%f"?
2. Can I print the contents of "proconfig" as just "SET %s"? It seems to work for the variables I've tried (e.g.
"DateStyle=iso"),but I wonder if they'll always be quoted correctly (i.e., if the "split on '='" thing pg_dump does
isnecessary for an 8.4 function).
3. Is there a function I can use from ruleutils.c to do dollar quoting of prosrc/probin? If not, and I have to write
one,where should it live?
4. What exactly is probin? Do I need to worry about it at all?
Thanks.
