Re: Dump only functions

Thank you. I tried pg_extractor and it work almost perfect. I have just one question. We do overloading of a function name (using different parameters) and I think it puts all overlaoded functions in the same file (those with the same file name that is). Is there a way to separate them?

Thanks again for everyones help.

AFAIK, there's no direct way to dump each function to a separate file. However, you can use system-defined function or system table to retrieve function structure and then write them to separate file each by using bash or perl scripting.

select prosrc from pg_proc where proname='foo';
or
select pg_get_functiondef('foo(integer)'::regprocedure::oid);
or
Use other sources like pg_extractor tools.

+1 here. pg_extractor is my personal favorite for this type of thing. It can give you all of your objects as separate files if you'd like.
