 *
 *	  Routines for CREATE and DROP FUNCTION commands
 *
 * Portions Copyright (c) 1996-2002, PostgreSQL Global Development Group
 * Portions Copyright (c) 1994, Regents of the University of California
 *
 *
 * IDENTIFICATION
 *	  $Header: /cvsroot/pgsql/src/backend/commands/functioncmds.c,v 1.15 2002/07/29 23:44:44 tgl Exp $
 *
 * DESCRIPTION
 *	  These routines take the parse tree and pick out the
 *	  appropriate arguments/flags, and pass the results to the
 *	  corresponding "FooDefine" routines (in src/catalog) that do
 *	  the actual catalog-munging.  These routines also verify permission
 *	  of the user to execute the command.
 *
 * NOTES
 *	  These things must be defined and committed in the following order:
 *		"create function":
 *				input/output, recv/send procedures
 *		"create type":
 *				type
 *		"create operator":
 *				operators
 *
