Hard is not the issue. The dependents/depencies tabs are for dependencies as given by PostgreSQL. It won't change. > Given that functions have multiple signatures (same function name with > a variable number of args), I'd like to be able to find all the places > that one variant of the function is used.

What I can do is search for a specific string. Begin able to check if A(int, int) is used in this function, but not function A(int, text) means we need to add something that will understand the PL/pgsql code. I won't work on that. You can if you want, but I won't. The idea I want to work on is to search specific string in a source code, that's all. -- Guillaume http://blog.guillaume.lelarge.info http://www.dalibo.com -- Sent via pgadmin-support mailing list (pgadmin-support@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgadmin-support
