I have a function declared as follows CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION insertaegreso(usuario1 integer, importepago1 numeric, fechapago1 DATE, concepto1 character varying, tipopagonomina1 character varying, comentarios1 character varying) RETURNS integer AS....implementation.... notice the field "fechapago1 DATE" the function is working just fine, I tried it from pgadmin3 and it works, but when I try to call it using java's PreparedStatement pst; pst.setDate(3, date); I get this error, (note: "no existe la función" means "the function .... doesn't exists") org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: no existe la función insertaegreso(integer, double precision, unknown, character varying, character varying, character varying) it puts "unknown" instead of date is there a workaround for it that doesn't involve creating a function with VARCHAR instead of DATE? because also when I try to do something like String sql1 = "SELECT EXTRACT (YEAR FROM ?)"; PreparedStatement pst = con.getPreparedStatement(sql1); pst.setDate(1, date); I get this error: (the function....isn't unique) org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: la función pg_catalog.date_part(unknown, unknown) no es única tanks in advance _________________________________________________________________ Plug&Play te trae en exclusiva los mejores conciertos de la red http://club.prodigymsn.com/
