* [PATCH v3 6/7] Handle pg_get_expr default args in system_functions.sql
@ 2025-12-09 19:17  Mark Wong <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 187+ messages in thread

From: Mark Wong @ 2025-12-09 19:17 UTC (permalink / raw)

Modernize pg_get_expr to use CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION to handle the
optional pretty argument.

set the pretty parameter.

Modernize pg_get_expr to use proargdefaults to handle the optional
pretty argument.  That also means any direct function calls now needs to
set the pretty parameter.

* [PATCH v7 5/6] Handle pg_get_expr default args in system_functions.sql

From: Mark Wong @ 2025-12-09 19:17 UTC (permalink / raw)

Modernize pg_get_expr to use proargdefaults to handle the optional
pretty argument.  That also means any direct function calls now needs to
set the pretty parameter.
