The output was

(1 row)

I do not understand the output. It seems to refer to some left-overs
of a tutorial I ran some time ago. I have removed all the remaining
tables of that tutorial. But how can I get a list of user defined
functions? Doing a \df in psql results in an output of more that 900
lines.
