Hi all,
Please find attached diffs to the documentation that are intended to
accompany the CREATE FUNCTION patch that I submitted earlier. I stuck
with the syntax in the original patch rather than the alternative
syntax suggested by Andreas.
When I was altering the xfunc.sgml page I came across this:
<title>Name Space Conflicts</title>
<para>
As of <productname>Postgres</productname> v6.5,
<command>CREATE FUNCTION</command> can decouple a C language
function name from the name of the entry point. This is now the
preferred technique to accomplish function overloading.
</para>
which seems to suggest that someone had a similar idea in the past. I
could find no evidence of this functionality in the 6.5 code though
