Agreed that that would be strange, especially since creating a
schema-qualified table apparently succeeded. Matt, if you retype
the code in pgAdmin III, does it work? As John mentions, you might
have had a special character in there someplace. We're narrowing
down on the problem but let's not draw conclusions prematurely.

Also, please don't keep changing the subject header -- that can
mess up views of message threads. Threads are usually easier to
follow if all the messages have the same subject.

==================

Sorry about the subject header.

I typed the trigger function exactly like before, I double-checked the code format for hidden code (its ANSI and CR/LF format), opened it with different editor (no weird char), and even put my editor into hex mode - nothing. I ran it using the pgAdmin SQL tool - error right at the function name - the second line in the code below. I run it on the psql command line and it works. Here is the source code again.

CREATE FUNCTION
oc.upd_last_touch_test()
RETURNS trigger AS
$BODY$
BEGIN
NEW.last_touch := current_timestamp;
RETURN NEW;
END;
$BODY$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;

I am, quite frankly, stumped. However this is not too important as I was able to create the triggers and get the test database up and running so the programmers can continue. I just file this sort of fact in my head, along with other database peculiarities. Oracle, Informix and SQL Server have plenty of weirdness so I just keep copious notes.
