Thanks for your answer.

 

    a validator seems to be set (plpgsql_validator)

    and the validator function exists

        (

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION plpgsql_validator( oid) RETURNS void AS
'$libdir/plpgsql', 'plpgsql_validator'
LANGUAGE 'c' VOLATILE;

        )

 

    I also tried to call my function (sometimes, when the function is syntaxcicaly correct but wrong on another way) from another window.

    But unfortunately i get the same kind of result : no messages. the only way to debug is to add some "return 1 ... return 2 ... to know approximatively where i'ts wrong.

 

    not easy !

 

thanks again, I search..

 

Laurent

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.
