Thread: When will your JDBC 4.0 driver implement DatabaseMetadata.getFunctions?

This is just an alias for getProcedures, so 1) it's probably fairly
easy to implement and 2) why not just use getProcedures ?

Well since there is no CREATE PROCEDURE in postgresql, it becomes
somewhat redundant to have getFunctions and getProcedures. Ironically
we support getProcedures only because it was in the API first.
