Right.

This is the cursor statement.

Open procgraphic for select p_id.p_id.process_id from p_id.p_id, processes_count
where p_id.p_id.p_id_id = processes_count.p_id_id;

If process_total = 1 Then

 Fetch first from procgraphic into process_id;

 Update p_id.p_id
 set proc_graphic_position = '1'
 where current of procgraphic;

I get the same error message when I define the cursor with the same select.

I am not sure how to make the query simpler and still have it access the right row on fetch.

"cursor <unnamed portal 1> is not simply updateable scan of table "p_id"

You're trying to do an "UPDATE WHERE CURRENT OF cursor", right?
What it means is that the cursor definition is too complicated for
Postgres to figure out which row to update.  Without seeing the
cursor definition it's hard to say more.
