I did create the schemas with PgAdmin. As a test I also created another schema in psql and it too has the same problems with the function not working. I also created the function this time without relying on search_path and even altered the function and tables names slightly just in case there was some kind of conflict. Consequently there was no log error with search_path anymore but again the function will not work even though it appears to go through the motions of working. select test2._crab_set_process_month_trial('2012-01-01'); CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test2._crab_set_process_month_trial(date) RETURNS void AS $BODY$ BEGIN update test2.activity_trial set action_month = $1; END; $BODY$ LANGUAGE plpgsql VOLATILE COST 100; ALTER FUNCTION test2._crab_set_process_month_trial(date) OWNER TO postgres; CREATE TABLE test2.activity_trial ( action_month date NOT NULL, CONSTRAINT idkeymonth PRIMARY KEY (action_month ) ) WITH ( OIDS=FALSE ); ALTER TABLE test2.activity_trial OWNER TO postgres; On 2012-02-23, at 6:04 PM, Adrian Klaver wrote: > On Thursday, February 23, 2012 1:53:42 pm Willem Buitendyk wrote: >> Both via psql and PgAdmin. >> >> Yes only one database cluster. >> > > Another thought. > Did you CREATE the schema using PgAdmin and if so, might you have inadvertently > put in a trailing or leading space ? > I ask because if I remember correctly PgAdmin by default quotes object names and > that would trap the space character. > > I know you showed this previously: > > "crabby";"crabdata";"postgres";"";"";"";"" > > On the chance that spaces where trimmed out of the above what does the query > below show?: > > SELECT length(schema_name), schema_name from information_schema.schemata; > > -- > Adrian Klaver > adrian.klaver@xxxxxxxxx -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
