Generally, a function with that many input parameters is a sign of a bad function design, rather than of an unreasonable limit in PostgreSQL. > Is there a way around this? Or Am I in error? Um, how do I put this gently...a function with that many parameters means it's overwhelmingly likely that you are. Other people have made suggestions about recompiling PostgreSQL, hacking the source code, etc., etc. These are things you should only attempt when you are absolutely certain that there is no other way to do what you need to do than with a function of 60 parameters. Here, "absolutely certain" means "having gone over the design of the entire application, re-doing all of it if needed," because if you go down the road of having a hand-hacked PostgreSQL, you severely limit the community's ability to help you when you encounter a problem.
