You need a C function. See the test module in src/test/modules/test_ddl_deparse -- it contains a very simple implementation that doesn't really do a lot, but maybe it helps. The real meat of the thing is in an outdated module I wrote for 9.5. I think the latest version of that was posted by Alexander Shulgin in 2015 here https://postgr.es/m/CACACo5Q_UXYwF117LBhjZ3xaMPyrgqnqE=mXvRhEfjJ51aCfwQ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx or maybe it's here https://postgr.es/m/CACACo5QQuAV+n4Gi+YA1JF_a+QenR6SJuP8CYdPSrXKa+FHS3A@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
