Query goal: | Find routines with a VARIADIC parameter. These are routines that take as input an undefined number of arguments where the argument that is an undefined number are all of the same type and are the last input arguments. |
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. The query does not consider the routines that are a part of an extension. |
Query type: | General (Overview of some aspect of the database.) |
