Re: SELECT INTO returns incorrect values

Bill,
Did you try it like this:

parent_id = 0
category_name = ''
select category, parent_category_id
      from note.category
     where category_id = 477 into category_name, parent_id;
     raise notice 'curr cat, name, parent id: % % ', category_name,
parent_id;

I have found in the past that it's a good idea to initialize your vars
before you use them in PL/pgsql.


Also as a FYI, you don't need to upper case all your text in a function
(I know you have to do that in Firebird), just use standard case with
normal capitalization because
PostgreSQL will lowercase everything you send to the server that is not
in quotes.  It's a lot easier to read without the uppercase.
