I've found the problem - I didn't see a misplaced/extra quote_literal. My bad! Thanks for the help.

Yes, the missing select keyword was simply a typo on my part. The code that I sent was simplified (I didn't include all the fields, most of which are character varying). I've spent all day yesterday trying to make it work. (I'm not sure if I mentioned this, but I using 8.2.4 on Win2000 SP4). What else could be causing this code to correctly return the next sequence number but not insert anything into the table?

I ran your exact same code and it worked fine. Note that I changed one line: begin; insert_a_and_b ('some text for a', 'some text for b'); commit; became: begin; select insert_a_and_b ('some text for a', 'some text for b'); commit; But I assume that's just a simple typo.
