That's what I'm trying to do but the command won't let me. So what's
the point of having such a if it won't replace the previous
definition. I ended up having to drop and the create it again. I'm
trying to understand the reasoning behind the limit in functionality
of the command. With my current understanding, it's very useful and
should be dropped from postgres.
