It's not...it's just the way plpgsql works.  I prefix all my local
variables in plpgsql with an underscore to prevent these kinds of

Dunno, if it was a documented behavior it should fail both on on 8.1 Linux
and on 8.4 Windows, but it only fails on 8.4 Windows. 

I will try to create a clear test.

 Hi,
 I have a plpgsql function called irq(IN ulist integer[], .)
 It works fine on 8.1 Linux

 On 8.4 on windows XP running the function gives an error message (Undefined
 column: 7 ERROR: record rec has no field instreq_id) wich is strange
 because the underlying query does return that column.
 I run the create script of irq to create irq2 - and irq2 works fine.
 I delete irq and rename irq2 to irq and I get the error back.

 The error is consistent in the sense that if I delete the database and
 restore it it appears again the same way.

 Is this a bug?
 Any suggestion what I should be doing with this?

 Thanks for the help.

Are you using the string 'irq' inside the function?

Yes, I use it as a table alias inside the function.

Select ..
irq.instreq_min_metcount,
irq.ref_deptype,
irq.instreq_aggrfunc
From .. instrument_requirement irq ON

Re: [GENERAL] strange plpgsql error

2009-10-11 Thread SunWuKung

Right,
I replace the table alias irq to instreq and the function works.
I don't know what could have been the problem: is irq a reserved word, or
it's because the table alias has the same name then the function name.

Thanks for pointing me to the right direction.

It is not a reserved word 
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/sql-keywords-appendix.html).
My guess is it was the name conflict between the function name and the table 
alias.
