Answer: > plpgsql Ok, we're coming closer. What I mean: In which programming language is the *call* to function foo()? Java? PHP? PL/pgSQL? Could you tell me the exact statement that you use to call foo()? Why do I ask this? An example: If you use embedded SQL to call the function, and the input is stored in the host variable "inpstr", then the answer would be: EXEC SQL DECLARE c CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM foo(localtimestamp, localtimestamp, string_to_array(replace(:inpstr, '''''', ''), ',')); Yours, Laurenz Albe ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
