routine_routine_usage #
The view routine_routine_usage is meant to identify all
functions or procedures that are used by another (or the same) function or
procedure, either in the body or in parameter default expressions.
Currently, only functions used in parameter default expressions are
tracked. An entry is included here only if the used function is owned by a
currently enabled role. (There is no such restriction on the using
function.)
Note that the entries for both functions in the view refer to the “specific” name of the routine, even though the column names are used in a way that is inconsistent with other information schema views about routines. This is per SQL standard, although it is arguably a misdesign. See Section 37.45 for more information about specific names.
