error with functions - Mailing list pgsql-admin

10:12a
Dear all,
This is about the same problem which I have been facing for the past one week and which I am unable to solve.
I have create a function which return +1 of the argument passed.
Function Definition:
CREATE FUNCTION add_one (integer) RETURNS INTEGER AS '
    BEGIN
        RETURN $1 + 1;
    END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

The output it was giving was always 1, despite any argument ( not string's ofcourse)
When I viewed the function definition in the pg_proc table...

psql "select proname,prosrc from pg_proc where proname='add_one'"
 proname |                        prosrc
---------+-------------------------------------------------------
 add_one | BEGIN RETURN   +1 END;
(1 row)
______________
Can any body tell me why is the $1 missing..
I am using running postgres 7.3.4 in linux envt
Have a grate day

Hi Stephan,

Here is the table structure.  FYI, we tried the experiment with mysql
and the concurrency is working fine.

create table TABLE1( TABLE_ID IDENTITY NOT NULL ,
                        VA_ID SMALLINT NOT NULL,

                        V_STATES_ID SMALLINT NOT
NULL,
                        V_VOL VARCHAR(6),
                        V_OBJ_ID INT,
                        V_CELL SMALLINT,
                        V_POOL VARCHAR(255),
                    FOREIGN KEY(VA_ID) REFERENCES
TABLE2(VA_ID) ON DELETE CASCADE,
                    FOREIGN KEY(V_STATES_ID)
REFERENCES V_STATES(V_STATES_ID),
                    PRIMARY KEY(TABLE_ID));
We were trying to update V_VOL using following statement:

UPDATE TABLE1 SET V_VOL = 'ABCD' WHERE TABLE_ID = 100000

Regards,
Ravi

Generally not, but you really haven't given alot of information.  What
is the table layout for the table in question?  Are there foreign keys
involved?
