Обсуждение: Bizzare plpgsql error
I'm getting this error trying to run a function:
usps=# select process_zip4();
WARNING: Error occurred while executing PL/pgSQL function process_zip4
WARNING: line 55 at SQL statement
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "$1" at character 14
The relivant code is:
IF z.record_type_code = ''P'' THEN
INSERT INTO po_box
SELECT z4.zip4_id
, ....
The INSERT INTO is line 55. What makes no sense is that it works fine if
I change the name of the table from po_box to anything else.
Any ideas?

IIRC plpgsql gets confused sometimes when things like that are done.
Arg, yes, that's exactly it. On Tue, May 27, 2003 at 03:57:12PM -0700, Stephan Szabo wrote: > > On Tue, 27 May 2003, Jim C.
