Query goal: | Working with sets of rows rather than processing each row separately is more effective. |
Notes about the query: | Refers to the column pg_proc.prokind and thus works starting from PostgreSQL 11. In the returned body of routine the query replaces each newline character with the line break (br) tag for the better readability in case the query result is displayed in a web browser. There could be multiple routines with the same name but with different parameters in the same schema (overloading). Thus, for the unique identification of the routine it is necessary to present also its parameters in addition to the schema name and routine name. |
Query type: | General (Overview of some aspect of the database.) |
Query license: | MIT License |
Fixing suggestion: | Prefer working with sets of rows to working with rows one-by-one. Many tasks in a SQL database can be solved by using SQL's declarative data manipulation language statements, instead of writing procedural code. |
Data source: | INFORMATION_SCHEMA+system catalog |
