Goal Find routines that contain a UPDATE or a DELETE statement that search condition refers to the xmin column. If one uses optimistic approach for dealing with the concurrent modifications of data, then xmin values should be presented by views and used in routines that modify or delete rows.
Notes Refers to the column pg_proc.prokind and thus works starting from PostgreSQL 11. The query does not consider the routines that are a part of an extension. 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.
