Hi all. I have a maintenance PL/pgSQL function that needs to recreate a partial index (not a REINDEX, though). In the WHERE condition of the index I have one of the function arguments. A plain "CREATE INDEX ... WHERE ..." will lead to a runtime error like this: tmp2=# SELECT * FROM f_maint1( '20080401'::timestamptz ); ERROR: there is no parameter $1 CONTEXT: SQL statement "CREATE INDEX i_special_part ON t_atable( col1,col2 ) WHERE col3 >= $1 " PL/pgSQL function "f_maint1" line 28 at SQL statement To work this issue around I switched to dynamic SQL with "EXECUTE 'CREATE INDEX ...' " This means to me that the CREATE INDEX within a PL/pgSQL body cannot use function arguments in the WHERE condition. Is this the expected behavior? If so, why? -- Fahrbahn ist ein graues Band weisse Streifen, grüner Rand -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
