PLPGSQL Fetching rows

Hi

I've got the following procedure, it is triggered on a insert and it
works out the next available project code and store it in
working_values.  It looks like the fetch statement in the code does not
not execute.


Example run -

wrg=# INSERT INTO projects  VALUES (1,'proj1');
NOTICE:  Project_code is <NULL>
NOTICE:  start_code is 1
NOTICE:   NOT FOUND
NOTICE:   UPDATING WORKING VALUES 2
INSERT 50262 1

wrg=# select next_project_code from working_values ;
 next_project_code
-------------------
                 2
(1 row)

wrg=# INSERT INTO projects  VALUES (2,'proj2');
NOTICE:  Project_code is <NULL>
NOTICE:  start_code is 1
NOTICE:   NOT FOUND
NOTICE:   UPDATING WORKING VALUES 2
INSERT 50263 1

wrg=# select next_project_code from working_values ;
 next_project_code
-------------------
                 2
(1 row)


I would expect the next_project_code to be 3

Table looks as follows -

wrg=# \d projects
                 Table "public.projects"
       Column        |          Type          | Modifiers
---------------------+------------------------+-----------
 project_code        | integer                | not null
 project_description | character varying(255) | not null
Indexes: projects_pkey primary key btree (project_code)
Triggers: updatenextprojectcode



Any Ideas

Mark.
