Kristis Makris ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 2
The lower the number the more severe it is.

Short Description
pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.

Long Description
Here are the facts:

I have a plpgsql function that should return a value out of a query. The function 
works when the select xxx into yyyy statement in it enters data in a yyyy variable 
declared as "RECORD". IF delcared as BOOL, TEXT or INT4, I get the pqReadData error.

Here's a snippet of code that exhibits that.

Sample Code
Here's the function declaration when does not work while it should:


CREATE FUNCTION GetCheckNumber(INT4) RETURNS TEXT AS '
DECLARE
        lDepositID ALIAS FOR $1;
        lTemp      TEXT;
BEGIN
        SELECT mc.checknumber
        INTO   lTemp
        FROM   Deposit d,
               MoneyCheck mc
        WHERE  mc.type_id = d.id;

        IF NOT FOUND THEN
           RETURN ''N/A'';
        ELSE
           RETURN lTemp;
        END IF;

END;
'       LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';


And here's a working version of the function using the RECORD type:

CREATE FUNCTION GetCheckNumber(INT4) RETURNS TEXT AS '
DECLARE
        lDepositID ALIAS FOR $1;
        lTemp      RECORD;
BEGIN
        SELECT mc.checknumber
        INTO   lTemp
        FROM   Deposit d,
               MoneyCheck mc
        WHERE  mc.type_id = d.id;

        IF NOT FOUND THEN
           RETURN ''N/A'';
        ELSE
           RETURN lTemp.checknumber;
        END IF;

END;
'       LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
