PostgreSQL 42723

Function <function name>(<arguments>) already exists with same argument types. This error occurs when attempting to create a function with the same name and argument types as an existing function.

How It Affects Your App

PostgreSQL 42723 DUPLICATE FUNCTION error occurs when a function is created with the same name as an existing function. This error can prevent the application from running properly, as the existing function may be used by the application and the new function may not be compatible with the existing one. This can lead to unexpected behavior and errors in the application. Additionally, the application may not be able to access the data it needs, as the existing function may be used to access the data.
