Well, I tried it myself and it doesn't work (yet).

This is Huxton's code:

SELECT cl.relname,tr.tgname AS triggername, tr.tgenabled,
fn.proname AS func_name
FROM pg_trigger AS tr, pg_class AS cl, pg_proc AS fn
WHERE tr.tgrelid=cl.oid AND tr.tgfoid=fn.oid AND cl.relname ˜
'^foo%';


This is the result :

ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "˜"
psql:showfunc.sql:3: ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "˜"

I'm pretty certain *I* am doing something wrong.
