Tom is right, you need plperlu if you want to do this. Or be more careful in your function by (for example) querying the pg_class table to see if the table exists. Another alternative is to have pl/perlu do all the "heavy lifting", and make some more limited wrapper functions in pl/perl. And for the sake of the archives, it is "spi_exec_query" not "spi_query_exec". - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@xxxxxxxxxxxx PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200611230659 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFFZY2yvJuQZxSWSsgRAid1AKCBbLpjAYK/MMpQPiDBKapoOAIqygCfTrme pDZrkflT0LLUvdlbWDxCoe0= =OT2k -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
