It *might* create the functions internally, or it might not. Admittedly the present behavior is somewhat skewed by historical compatibility considerations, but as long as the functions are independently creatable objects I don't think it makes sense to have ALTER LANGUAGE messing with them. We'd be heading down a very slippery slope if we did that, too --- should ALTER AGGREGATE touch the underlying functions? How about ALTER CONVERSION propagating to the underlying function? Or ALTER TYPE to its underlying I/O functions? Or ALTER DOMAIN to the underlying type? Etc. If we did change this, how do we not break pg_dump's ability to replicate a situation where tbe ownerships had been different? regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
