Hi, my problem is that this select into does not throw a NO_DATA_FOUND if my select involves a max(). I did not see this behaviour documented anywhere and could not find it in a reasonable time at google. -------------code---------------------------------- create or replace function xyz() returns void as $BODY$ declare x integer; begin SELECT max(tanum) INTO STRICT x FROM lo_prod_req WHERE tanum = '1234567'; raise notice 'failed'; exception WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN raise notice 'it should be as this'; end ; $BODY$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'; -------------code---------------------------------- It does throw an Exception if I change the query into this though: -------------code---------------------------------- SELECT tanum INTO STRICT x FROM lo_prod_req WHERE tanum = '1234567' limit 1; -------------code---------------------------------- Although this query does not make much sense with the max() statement it should work anyway Thank you Walter Mesz -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
