PG_PROC

PG_PROC records information about functions or procedures.

**Table 1** PG_PROC columns
Name	Type	Description
proname	name	Name of the function
pronamespace	oid	OID of the namespace that contains the function
proowner	oid	Owner of the function
prolang	oid	Implementation language or call interface of the function
procost	real	Estimated execution cost
prorows	real	Estimate number of result rows
provariadic	oid	Data type of parameter element
protransform	regproc	Simplified call method for this function
proisagg	boolean	Whether this function is an aggregate function
proiswindow	boolean	Whether this function is a window function
prosecdef	boolean	Whether this function is a security definer (such as a "setuid" function)
proleakproof	boolean	Whether this function has side effects. If no leakproof treatment is provided for parameters, the function throws errors.
proisstrict	boolean	The function returns null if any call parameter is null. In that case the function does not actually be called at all. Functions that are not "strict" must be prepared to process null inputs.
proretset	boolean	The function returns a set, that is, multiple values of the specified data type.
provolatile	"char"	Whether the function's result depends only on its input parameters, or is affected by outside factors It is i for "immutable" functions, which always deliver the same result for the same inputs. It is s for "stable" functions, whose results (for fixed inputs) do not change within a scan. It is v for "volatile" functions, whose results may change at any time.
pronargs	smallint	Number of parameters
pronargdefaults	smallint	Number of parameters that have default values
prorettype	oid	OID of the returned parameter type
proargtypes	oidvector	Array with the data types of the function parameters. This array includes only input parameters (including INOUT parameters) and thus represents the call signature of the function.
proallargtypes	oid[]	Array with the data types of the function parameters. This array includes all parameter types (including OUT and INOUT parameters); however, if all the parameters are IN parameters, this column is null. Note that array subscripting is 1-based, whereas for historical reasons, and proargtypes is subscripted from 0.
proargmodes	"char"[]	Array with the modes of the function parameters. i indicates IN parameters. o indicates OUT parameters. b indicates INOUT parameters. If all the parameters are IN parameters, this column is null. Note that subscripts of this array correspond to positions of proallargtypes not proargtypes.
proargnames	text[]	Array that stores the names of the function parameters. Parameters without a name are set to empty strings in the array. If none of the parameters have a name, this column is null. Note that subscripts correspond to positions of proallargtypes not proargtypes.
proargdefaults	pg_node_tree	Expression tree of the default value. This is the list of PRONARGDEFAULTS elements.
prosrc	text	A definition that describes a function or stored procedure. In an interpreting language, it is the function source code, a link symbol, a file name, or any body content specified when a function or stored procedure is created, depending on how a language or calling is used.
probin	text	Additional information about how to call the function. Again, the interpretation is language-specific.
proconfig	text[]	Function's local settings for run-time configuration variables.
proacl	aclitem[]	Access permissions For details, see GRANT and REVOKE.
prodefaultargpos	int2vector	Locations of the function default values. Not only the last few parameters have default values.
fencedmode	boolean	Execution mode of a function, indicating whether a function is executed in fence or not fence mode. If the execution mode is fence, the function is executed in the fork process that is reworked. The default value is fence.
proshippable	boolean	Whether a function can be pushed down to DNs. The default value is false. Functions of the IMMUTABLE type can always be pushed down to the DNs. Functions of the STABLE or VOLATILE type can be pushed down to DNs only if their attribute is SHIPPABLE.
propackage	boolean	Indicates whether the function supports overloading, which is mainly used for the Oracle style function. The default value is false.
