Or two couples KB smaller, if we abandoned the idea that pg_proc OIDs must not collide with those in any other catalog, and we renumbered all functions to start at OID 1 or so. duplicate_oids would complain about that, though, I suppose ... and nobody who has ever hardcoded a function OID would love this idea much. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
