function param and declared variable of same name

[Sim Zacks <sim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tested in 8.2 and 9.0.1

In plpgsql, if you have a function parameter and a variable of the same name, it ignores the value passed in and initializes the variable to null.
The correct action, IMO, would be to raise an error.

create or replace function test1(x int) returns int as
$$
declare x int;
begin
    return x;
end;
$$ language 'plpgsql';

Thanks
