Re: ERROR: plpgsql: permission denied

hi,
I figured out the cause of my problem, I had to add "TRUSTED PROCEDURAL"
to the CREATE LANGUAGE statement.  I thought that was for C or PerlPL or soemthing though.

instead of
CREATE LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' HANDLER plpgsql_call_handler
LANCOMPILER 'PL/pgSQL'

I had to do

CREATE TRUSTED PROCEDURAL LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'
HANDLER plpgsql_call_handler
LANCOMPILER 'PL/pgSQL' ;

BTW,  I also got the function to work

create or replace function mod_log.top_hits(interval)
returns setof mod_log.top_hits_type as
'
declare
    when_for alias for $1;
    top_hits_row mod_log.top_hits_type%ROWTYPE;
    generic_record record;
begin
    for generic_record in SELECT uri as uri, sum(*) AS total_hits FROM mod_log.apachelog where uri <> ''127.0.0.1'' and
urinot like ''%.gif'' and uri not like ''favicon.ico'' and request_time > (now() - when_for) GROUP BY uri order by
total_hitsdesc 
    loop
        top_hits_row.uri = generic_record.uri;
        top_hits_row.hits = generic_record.total_hits;
        return next top_hits_row;
    end loop;
    return next top_hits_row;
    return;
end;
'
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
-- create type mod_log.top_hits_type as (uri character varying(1536), hits bigint);
-- http://www.varlena.com/varlena/GeneralBits/Tidbits/setofrowtype.sql
-- select * from mod_log.top_hits('5 min');
