No any error msg in the logfile, I didn't see any create function statement
in my logfile which I enabled the query log.
This function is written in PL/pgSQL which is enabled in target db,
If I pg_dump the schema into a plain text file, I can see its defination
there, I can easily copy & paste (restore) it into mydb2.
however, I failed to restore it by using flag -P with compressed file.
I also tried to use
su postgres -c "/usr/local/pgsql/bin/pg_restore --function=myfunction
--dbname=mydb2 dbf"
error msg
pg_restore: [archiver] could not open input file: No such file or directory

weird???


I use 
pg_restore -Rxt mytable -d mydb2 dbf
have no such a problem, it works.


Is any syntax error??
I am confused by documentation now!
Is it a bug????

Thanks

Good question. Is there any error message in the postmaster log?

If the function is written in a procedural language, is that language
enabled in the target database? If the function is written in the SQL
language, do all underlying objects like tables and views exist? If it's
a C language function, does the shared object containing the function
exist at the expected location?
