*) I really dislike your formatting relative to what it was. In fact,
it's a mess. You went to four spaces vs two, which causes a lot of
issues IMO. SQL relative to other languages requires a lot of nested
indentation and this makes things challenging to format well. This
is opinion I guess but I think it's a regression.
aside: do not use tabs in sql, ever -- I dislike tabs generally but in
postgres .sql it breaks pasting to psql.
*) your indent spacing is not regular (meaning, not always exactly 4).
For example,
END CASE;
END IF;
Irregular indentation leads directly to:
*) lots of extra work and irrelevant-to-the-actual-change whitespace adjustments
*) coding difficulty locating the end of the block in the face of
indentation changes. At the bottom portion of your function, I'm not
easily finding the matching END IF to the:
ELSE
-- This should NEVER happen!
IF danglingvoucher
