Hello,

I'm sorry if this has been sent to the community multiple times.  I am
not able to determine whether my posts have gotten through.  If you have
rec'd this multiple times, please let me know.

We have recently migrated to Postgres 8 (not sure of exactly which
build).  We have noticed that a few functions that were working
previously are no longer behaving as expected.  One function in
particular is giving me a strange result.

The function giving us the problem is much more complicated, but for
simplicity I've included one that is easier to read and results in the
same behavior.

UPDATE t_summary
SET        availability = 7
WHERE  oid = 28245084

When this query is executed (within a function or without) the database
will simply hang.  If the UPDATE is turned into a SELECT, the query
works just fine.  For some reason, the UPDATE is just not working.  This
same function/query works fines in Postgres 7.2.

The schema for the targeted table is shown below.

CREATE TABLE t_summary ( 
    id                              varchar(20) NULL,
    availability                 int4 NULL DEFAULT 0,
)

Has anyone else experienced a similar issue?  If more information is
needed to determine the problem, please let me know.  I've trimmed down
the function's query and table's schema for this posting.

Thanks in advance!
