Hello Guys

The query in this function returns the dependency for level one. However, I 
need 
the dependency for all level. I am still new with plpgsql so; how can I use 
recursive function to return all dependency for all levels 



CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dependon (var text) RETURNS SETOF text AS
$BODY$
DECLARE 
    node record;
BEGIN

    FOR node IN SELECT relname FROM pg_class WHERE OID in (
        SELECT ev_class FROM pg_rewrite, pg_depend
        WHERE pg_depend.objid = pg_rewrite.oid
        AND deptype ='n'
        AND refobjsubid = 1
        AND refobjid::regclass::text = $1)
    LOOP
        IF node.relname IS NOT NULL THEN
                
            RETURN NEXT depend(node.relname);    
            RETURN NEXT node.relname;
            
        END IF;
        
    END LOOP;
END
$BODY$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'; 


Regards

If you're using pgAdmin, there's a "Dependants" tab which shows you the objects 
depending on another object.

Otherwise, I think you can query the pg_catalog.pg_depend table, but I don't 
know how you go about that.
