I don't think CREATE PROCEDURE is actually a valid command in Postgres. The 9.0 documentation seems to confirm that (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/sql-commands.html). In Postgres, "procedures" are void-returning functions - there's no difference. It's just a naming convention. Perhaps you're using some 3rd party code for MS-SQL compatibility? I imagine CREATE PROCEDURE would then be a simple wrapper around CREATE FUNCTION ... RETURNING void. Heh, didn't know you could define DEFAULT argument values like that, but it seems you can! -- If you can't see the forest for the trees, Cut the trees and you'll see there is no forest. -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
