Hello,
When I run the following script on a PG 11 psql:
select version();
show lc_collate;
create or replace function same_values_func(a text, b text) returns void as $body$
begin
assert a = b;
end;$body$ language plpgsql;
select same_values_func(least('a','b'),'a');
create or replace procedure same_values_proc(a text, b text) as $body$
begin
assert a = b;
end;$body$ language plpgsql;
call same_values_proc(least('a','b'),'a');
I get the following output and error at the end:
SIMPLE=> select version();

ERROR: could not determine which collation to use for string comparison
HINT: Use the COLLATE clause to set the collation explicitly.

I tried to convert all void functions we have on a PG10 DB to procedures and I get this strange error.
The same error occurs with GREATEST.
Any idea?
Regards.
