[GENERAL] problem with overloading the coalesce function
Hi, I am trying to overload the coalesce function to accept an integer and a string. Here it is : CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION coalesce(a int4, b varchar) RETURNS varchar AS $BODY$ begin if (a is null ) then return b; else return cast(a as varchar(15)); end if; end $BODY$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE; ALTER FUNCTION coalesce(a int4, b varchar) OWNER TO postgres; I have added it to pg_catalog, but still I cant't use it, I get an error on the second parameter, apparently the function gets lost at some point. Any additional steps I need to complete? Thanks in advance, Emil __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[GENERAL] Syntax error in Execute statement
Hello, I created a function coalescec which behaves the same as coalesce, but uses an integer and a string. Now I'm getting an error in the folowing statements : query := 'select UID from S_Users_To_Connection where ConnID = ' || coalescec(conn_id,'null'); execute query into nUID; ERROR: syntax error at or near $2 at character 20 QUERY: SELECT $1 into $2 I have put UID in quotes because it seems to be a keyword. Here is the table script: create TEMP table S_Users_To_Connection( UID integer NOT NULL ,ConnID integer NOT NULL ,LoginID integer NOT NULL ); Any suggestions ? __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Re: [SQL] [GENERAL] lost in system tables
Those parameters are specified when you declare the foreign key. Look here, in the section describing references: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/sql-createtable.html Luca Thank you,Luca I know that these parameters are specified when you declare the foreign key, but i need to check them out later from the system tables. The first one must be something like the 'deferrable' column in pg_constaint, but the second is still in vague. Emil __ Yahoo! DSL Something to write home about.
