There's no way to do what you want, because the pattern you give to \df
is only used to constrain the name of the function, not the arguments:
SELECT n.nspname as "Schema",
p.proname as "Name",
pg_catalog.pg_get_function_result(p.oid) as "Result data type",
pg_catalog.pg_get_function_arguments(p.oid) as "Argument data types"
FROM pg_catalog.pg_proc p
LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = p.pronamespace
WHERE p.prorettype <> 'pg_catalog.cstring'::pg_catalog.regtype
AND p.proargtypes[0] IS DISTINCT FROM 'pg_catalog.cstring'::pg_catalog.regtype
AND NOT p.proisagg
AND p.proname ~ '^(date_par.*)$'
and p.oid::regclass = 'date_part(text,abstime)' AND pg_catalog.pg_function_is_visible(p.oid)
ORDER BY 1, 2, 4;
You can alter it to use the "regprocedure" to only get the function that
matches a particular signature:
SELECT n.nspname as "Schema",
p.proname as "Name",
pg_catalog.pg_get_function_result(p.oid) as "Result data type",
pg_catalog.pg_get_function_arguments(p.oid) as "Argument data types"
FROM pg_catalog.pg_proc p
LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = p.pronamespace
WHERE p.prorettype <> 'pg_catalog.cstring'::pg_catalog.regtype
AND p.proargtypes[0] IS DISTINCT FROM 'pg_catalog.cstring'::pg_catalog.regtype
AND NOT p.proisagg
AND p.proname ~ '^(date_par.*)$'
and p.oid::regproc = 'date_part(text,abstime)'::regprocedure -- <-- here
AND pg_catalog.pg_function_is_visible(p.oid)
ORDER BY 1, 2, 4;
To do what you want you need something like this (note the cast to
regprocedure and from there to text):
alvherre=# SELECT n.nspname as "Schema",
p.proname as "Name",
pg_catalog.pg_get_function_result(p.oid) as "Result data type",
pg_catalog.pg_get_function_arguments(p.oid) as "Argument data types"
FROM pg_catalog.pg_proc p
LEFT JOIN pg_catalog.pg_namespace n ON n.oid = p.pronamespace
WHERE p.prorettype <> 'pg_catalog.cstring'::pg_catalog.regtype
AND p.proargtypes[0] IS DISTINCT FROM 'pg_catalog.cstring'::pg_catalog.regtype
AND NOT p.proisagg
AND p.proname ~ '^(date_par.*)$'
and p.oid::regprocedure::text like 'date_part(text,time%' AND pg_catalog.pg_function_is_visible(p.oid)
ORDER BY 1, 2, 4;
