Marc Balmer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 2 The lower the number the more severe it is. Short Description create table xy as select a,b from t_a left join t_b on cond fails in PL/pgSQL Long Description A SQL statement "create table t2 as select a,b from t_a left join t_b on <condition>;" works as expected when entered in psql but fails if it is part of PL/pgSQL function. If executed in a PL/pgSQL function, the result table t2 will be created with columns a and b but only the values of a are inserted, column b remains empty in all rows. Sample Code -- works in psql, fails in PL/pgsql create table datum (datum date); create table termin (datum date, titel varchar(64), i integer); create table t2 as select datum.datum,termin.titel from datum left join termin on datum.datum >= termin.datum and ((datum.datum - termin.datum) % i = 0) and (enddatum >= datum.datum or enddatum = null); No file was uploaded with this report ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
