How carefully did you test this? postgres=# \df abc List of functions Schema | Name | Result data type | Argument data types --------+------+------------------+--------------------- public | abc | integer | a integer,b integer (1 row) (The argument list should be separated by both a comma and whitespace.) postgres=# create or replace function xyz(inout a int, inout int) returns record as 'select (1, 2);' language sql; CREATE FUNCTION postgres=# \df xyz List of functions Schema | Name | Result data type | Argument data types --------+------+------------------+---------------------------------- public | xyz | record | INOUT a integer, INOUT integer (1 row) (Spurious whitespace for the unnamed INOUT parameter.) You need to schema-qualify references to builtin functions, to avoid accidentally using functions of the same name that appear earlier in the user's search path. (As a general rule, look at the surrounding code carefully before you modify it.) It would be nice to be consistent about SQL style, at least within a single query (e.g. don't separate function arguments with whitespace in some places but not others). -Neil ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
