The way that user-created functions work allows one to have the same
function name with different numbers & types of parameters. Thus, you
must specify the param list when replacing.
Ok, so postgres allows function overloading. That makes that if you
need to change the parameter list or result type, so you need to drop
the function to change teh parameter list or result type.
But what about my original question?
"What is the point of the create or replace view command if you
can't change the
column and data types?"
