But my_func(column) can do anything with your data. What if I write:

CREATE FUNCTION my_func(int4) RETURNS int4 AS 'SELECT 2' LANGUAGE SQL;

Here it doesn't matter what data I pass into the function I always get
"2" back, so how can you say the data comes from a table?

Now, since there clearly isn't a way to answer your original question,
maybe you need a different question. What do you use the table oid for?
