As I build a database I've noticed that the following works on 8.4.8 but does not work on 9.0.5. Can someone tell me why this is not legal syntax in 9.0.5 but is legal in 8.4.8 please: > > ===snip=== > create type mytype > as > ( > somekey integer, > open numeric(14, 2) > ); > > CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION myfunc(IN INTEGER, IN NUMERIC(14, 2)) > RETURNS VOID > AS $$ > DECLARE > somekey ALIAS FOR $1; > rec mytype; > BEGIN > rec.somekey = somekey; > > -- 9.0.5 will fail at the dot character in the > -- following line here with syntax error sqlstate 42601 > -- but 8.4.8 is happy. > rec.open = 32; > -- ^ > > RETURN; > END; > $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql; > ===snip=== > > -- > Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) > To make changes to your subscription: > http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general > -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
