Re: Final stored procedure question, for now anyway

it's because of the mixed-case you're using in the function name, i've had
this issue last week myself and it seems to be the culprit

Subject: [GENERAL] Final stored procedure question, for now anyway

OK, I finally have Postgres accepting my stored procedure. here is the
relevant data in the history window of pgAmind III Query:
=================================
-- Executing query:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION addEntity (
fn IN VARCHAR,
ln IN VARCHAR,
ivar IN VARCHAR,
hi IN VARCHAR,
pw IN VARCHAR,
ea IN VARCHAR,
ad IN VARCHAR,
c IN VARCHAR,
p IN VARCHAR,
co IN VARCHAR,
pc IN VARCHAR
)
RETURNS void AS $$
DECLARE
varID INTEGER;
BEGIN
SELECT INTO varID uid from uids where email_address=ea;
IF varID IS NOT NULL THEN
INSERT INTO addy (uid,address,city,province,country,postal_code)
VALUES (varID,ad,c,p,co,pc);
ELSE
INSERT INTO uids(family_name,first_name,initials,hid,pword,email_address)
VALUES (ln,fn,ivar,hi,pw,ea);
INSERT INTO addy(uid,address,city,province,country,postal_code)
VALUES (currval('uids_uid_seq'),ad,c,p,co,pc);
END IF;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;

Query returned successfully with no result in 0 ms.
=================================
So I now go into pgAmin III, and take a look, and I can't find it.

When I execute the above SQL, where will Postgres store the function? I
see, in pgAmin's main window, several places where functions are stored, but
none of them contain my function.

It must be stored somewhere since I get an error saying the function already
exists if I attempt to modiy it slightly and re-run it. For example, I
noticed I used the wrong sequence in the last INSERT statement. To correct
that, I had to add "OR REPLACE" after "CREATE" to make the correction. I
am puzzled though that I can't find it when I go back to the pgAmin main
window and search through the whole database (after pressing <F5> to refresh
the contents of the windows).

Thanks to all who helped me on this matter.

Cheers,

Ted
