Hi Jim, >> select count(*) from pg_proc where proname = 'your_function'; >> > don't forget about schema's, you will need to join with > pg_namespace.oid and pg_proc.pronamespace your answer looks a little bit cryptic for me being somebody who hasn't had to dive into the pg_... tables yet. :-) What do you exactly mean? Could you provide me a complete query for that job? Is there anything to consider, if the user performing this query is NOT the owner of the stored prodcedure? (but he needs this info as well!) Thank you in advance, Alexander.
