Create, alter, drop a function. Several languages should be supported 
(PLpgSQL, SQL, PLPython, etc...). A function can have several different 
arguments : function (a, b) is not the same as function (a, b, c). Last time 
I read libgda, functions were only represented by their name, not arguments 
(this was a long time ago, I may be wrong).

We can get support from Oracle users.

This seems fair enough. This might take a while (> 1 week) as I am a beginner 
with GTK+ and Glade. Will have a try a get back to you. For the GUI part, we 
can take a look at pgAdmin2 and create the forms in Glade2. Maybe I can start 
with this part of the job.
