Re: Update problem

Iam sorry for the previous mail......it was in complete. Please do not
consider it.
I think i could figure out the problem for the updates not happening.
Following is the function that does the update :
BEGINIF flag=1 THENtempQuery:='UPDATE '||thepartition||'  SET
volume='||updated_volume||',occupancy='||updated_occ||',speed='||updated_speed||'
WHERE lane_id='||lane||' and  measurement_start >=
date_trunc(''minute'',timestamp'''||measurement_start||''') AND
measurement_start <
date_trunc(''minute'',timestamp'''||measurement_start + interval '1
minute'||''')';EXECUTE 'UPDATE '||thepartition||'  SET
volume='||updated_volume||',occupancy='||updated_occ||',speed='||updated_speed||'
WHERE lane_id='||lane||' and  measurement_start >=
date_trunc(''minute'',timestamp'''||measurement_start||''') AND
measurement_start <
date_trunc(''minute'',timestamp'''||measurement_start + interval '1
minute'||''')';RAISE NOTICE 'UPDATE QUERY %',tempQuery;RAISE NOTICE 'FOUND %',FOUND;ELSEtempQuery:='UPDATE
'||thepartition||' SET
 
volume='||updated_volume||',occupancy='||updated_occ||',speed='||updated_speed||'
WHERE lane_id='||lane||' and measurement_start =
'''||measurement_start||'''';EXECUTE 'UPDATE '||thepartition||' SET
volume='||updated_volume||',occupancy='||updated_occ||',speed='||updated_speed||'
WHERE lane_id='||lane||' and measurement_start =
'''||measurement_start||'''';RAISE NOTICE 'UPDATE QUERY %',tempQuery;RAISE NOTICE 'FOUND %',FOUND;END IF;
--Update the detector health dataEXECUTE 'INSERT into lane_detector_health (lane_id,
measurement_start,detector_status)
values('||lane||','''||measurement_start||''','||health||')';EXCEPTION  WHEN integrity_constraint_violation THENRAISE
NOTICE'Imputation for lane % at time % has been already
 
imputed',lane,measurement_start;
END;


There is an insert staement at the end that has an exception block. I
think whenever an exception is getting caught the data is getting
rolled back and hence the updates are getting rolled back.
I wrote the exception thinking that the roll back happens for only one
insert statement if it happens........i dont know if i have judged the
scope of the exception block wrong...

Could someone please clear me on this.


Thanks
Sam
