where working on pgadminIII to writing a function (on windows, postgre 8.0)
if I fortget a ";" or a ")" (for all other errors toot,
I get absolutely nothing when I run the crate or alter function (F5)
I just know that there is an error because I don't have the message "query exucuted ...", but th'ats all
I think I tried everything , but no way to have the error messages like "syntax error at line N"
Unfortunately PostgreSQL doesn't validate most functions when they are created. pl/pgsql does have a basic validator, but it is possible it is not enabled, check it's properties in pgAdmin and ensure a validator is listed. Either way, it is far from perfect, and the best option I find is to have a test query or queries setup in another window ready to run as soon as you've updated the function. That will show you where any errors are found.
