MODERATOR WARNING I noticed that this guy Rahul seems to be reinjecting old list emails somehow. Please don't approve anything coming from him. Observe this example: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Re-GENERAL-MS-Access-and-Stored-procedures-td1843848.html http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Re-GENERAL-MS-Access-and-Stored-procedures-td5734652.html The original message was posted in 2005! The message here is this one (also in 2005): http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/GENERAL-Exception-Handling-in-C-Language-Functions-td1843896.html I have no idea what's going on. Maybe it's something to do with Nabble. There are others pending moderation in pgsql-admin and pgsql-hackers too. rahul143 wrote: > I have the created a C-Language function (code is below).
