If the return type of a function changes,
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
will fail withERROR: cannot change return type of existing function
. To make function setup more foolproof, this PR updates the documentation to instead useDROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS
.Note that I've only updated
get_column_stats
andget_relation_stats_ext
since they return a subset of columns, whileget_stat_replication
for example doesSELECT *
, so shouldn't be affected when Postgres adds new columns in the future.
