RE: AW: German "umlaut insensitive" query

Hello,

SET command does not work as you expect in PLPGSQL. The _timeout argument is understood as a the new value (not the
contentof _timeout).
 
Use set_config function instead.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.set_transfer(_id integer,  _tablename character varying, _timeout character varying)
 RETURNS void
 LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $function$
begin
  perform set_config('idle_in_transaction_session_timeout',_timeout,false);
end;$function$
;

Regards

Super, thank you so much for the tip.

I still have a little problem where I don't get far ;-)

I constantly get an error message when I give the SET a value.
Siehe unten.

ERROR: ERROR: invalid value for parameter "idle_in_transaction_session_timeout": "_timeout" CONTEXT: SQL statement "SET
idle_in_transaction_session_timeoutTO _timeout" PL/pgSQL function set_transfer(integer,character varying,character
varying)Line 4 at SET SQL state: 22023SELECT * FROM 
 

Call function:
set_transfer(87,'users','5000');


Function:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.set_transfer(_id integer,  _tablename character varying, _timeout character varying)
   RETURNS SETOF users
   LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'AS $BODY$
BEGIN
  SET idle_in_transaction_session_timeout TO _timeout; ......
END


I've tried almost everything. :-( 


Best Regards
Jakob

In the meantime, the unaccent contrib module can also help.
