I've never had that happen before, and I've used Perl and DBI a lot.

Two common cases I can think of:1. The PERL framework is only caching the insert and does not actually perform it until commit is issued.2. You really are not on the same transaction even though it appears you are and the transaction isolation is such that you cannot see the insert until it is fully committed.On Wed, Apr 16, 2014 at 5:28 PM, David G Johnston <david.g.johnston@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
One possibility is that the INSERT is going to a different table (having the

function but not outside of it.
Or the function on the server is not "current" and thus isn't doing what you
think it is.
Not by itself; but that factor could be interacting with something else to

cause the observed behavior. As noted above functions are able to maintain
their own "schema" environment so what is executed in one and outside of one
can indeed target different physical objects - which has nothing to do with
transaction visibility.

that either exhibits the behavior in question or causes you to realize what
you are doing in wrong in the "large and complex Perl program".
