Well, I couldn't figure out why my INSERT INTO wasn't working so I went with using EXECUTE and concat'ing everything together.
One other problem I am having in that proc is SELECT'ing INTO a var.
declare id lookup_sports.sport_id%TYPE; begin SELECT INTO id sport_id FROM lookup_sports WHERE....some clause
id is always null
but the following works declare rs RECORD; id lookup_sports.sport_id%TYPE; begin SELECT INTO rs * FROM lookup_sports WHERE....some clause id := rs.sport_id
this doesn't work either SELECT INTO rs sport_id FROM lookup_sports WHERE....some clause
Any ideas
Thanks, Morgan
P.S. good suggestion to differentiate my vars from my columns. For the sake of expediency I named them the same so when I was writing the insert statements I could just copy/past my columns list into my values list.

Don't think so. Triggers run with the permissions of the creator, not the caller though so you might want to look into that.

Could you quote a few lines of code either side - especially something with the $1

Well it should be INSERT INTO ... but I presume this is a cut & paste issue.
So you have variable names the same as all the field names? I'd probably change them (stick v_ on the front or something). Even if plpgsql doesn't get confused readers will.
