I never did get an answer to this.
I get:
ERROR: cannot change return type of existing function
HINT: Use DROP FUNCTION first.
********** Error **********
ERROR: cannot change return type of existing function
SQL state: 42P13
Hint: Use DROP FUNCTION first.
When I try to:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION check_date_ymd(given_date varchar) RETURNS BOOLEAN AS
and
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION check_date_ymd(given_date varchar, OUT isvalid boolean, OUT ryear int, OUT rmonth int, OUT rday int) AS
I wanted to an 'is it valid' version, and another that would save runtime by also returning values that would speed up the
function date_to_utime().
in pg_proc there is no 'check_date_ymd', so there is no 'collision'.
Can someone elucidate me on this?
Thanks!
