If any ideas; thanks. As the error says, you already have a prepared statement named "updateplan". To reuse that name you'll need to DEALLOCATE it first. However, then you'll get the following error: test=> SELECT testPreparedStatement(); ERROR: function updateplan(integer, integer) does not exist That's because the PL/pgSQL command EXECUTE is different than the SQL command EXECUTE: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/plpgsql-statements.html#PLPGSQL-STATEMENTS-EXECUTING-DYN You don't need to use prepared statements in PL/pgSQL functions because the language automatically prepares and caches query plans. Just do the INSERT directly. -- Michael Fuhr
