Hi Adrian,
Thanks for the info, But I have another question: I could see the below functions list with the help on query execution on psql command line

Thanks for the info, But I have another question: I could see the below functions list with the help on query execution on psql command line
shc_data=> SELECT proname AS function_name,proacl AS privileges FROM pg_proc WHERE proname in ('sql_insert_data_procedure','sql_select_data_procedure','sql_select_size_procedure','sql_update_data_procedure');

but when I try to connect to the same db on PgAdmin4, I don't see the list even after refresh. Why is that different?

The above is not enough of a hint?
Use psql version 14 as:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/release-11.html
Replace system catalog pg_proc's proisagg and proiswindow columns with
prokind (Peter Eisentraut)

Why is that different? 1) Are you sure you are connecting to correct database. 2) If I followed your previous posts correctly those functions where not in the public schema you are looking at in pgAdmin4. They where in the shc(?) schema which I am pretty sure is the second schema in the Schemas(2) in the object tree. > Thet > image.png > > > > > > Regards, > Sasmit Utkarsh > +91-7674022625 > > -- Adrian Klaver adrian.klaver@aklaver.com
Thanks Rob
So which one could I rely on for better information? probably, results shown by PgAdmin4 right? As I get the below when I try to drop procedure through psql cmd and i see the procedure getting fetched from the query
shc_data=> SELECT proname AS function_name,proacl AS privileges FROM pg_proc WHERE proname in ('sql_insert_data_procedure','sql_select_data_procedure','sql_select_size_procedure','sql_update_data_procedure');

The version difference between your psql client installation and the server installation is the problem.

Hello Adria/Rob,
Please note, 'shc' schema was part of a different machine/host. For now, I see issue on another host machine which i connect using psql and PgAdmin4 and get different result on both and we have only public schema here on this machine

We've been down this road before, it is a search_path issue.
In psql do:
SHOW search_path;
then do:
\df *.sql_insert_data_procedure
Then see if the schema shown in the second command is in the search_path
returned by the first command.

Hi Adrian,
Sorry, Yes I did connect to the correct DB and it's just a test database and there's no shc schema. After giving the pronamespace::regnamespace. I do see it has another schema as test. Thanks a lot for your guidance, will make next time i verify with this details first, switching between different DBs and machines got my mind diverted

1) I doubt that if this is the database you are showing in your pgAdmin4
screenshot.
2) The information I asked for in my previous post is still relevant and
needs answering.
3) Add pronamespace::regnamespace to your SELECT query to get the schema
names for the the functions.
