I have never seen this problem before. It occurred while trying to import a dump (done by 9.5 client of a 9.4 database) also.
Table definition: - CREATE TABLE source.annual ( filename text, gzipfile text, id serial NOT NULL, tsv tsvector, ut character varying(19), xml xml, processed boolean, CONSTRAINT annual_pkey PRIMARY KEY (id) ) WITH ( OIDS=FALSE ); CREATE INDEX xml_tsv_idx ON source.annual USING gin (tsv); CREATE TRIGGER tsvectorupdate_source_xml BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON source.annual FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE source.update_xml_tsv(); And the trigger function: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION source.update_xml_tsv() RETURNS trigger AS $BODY$ begin new.tsv := to_tsvector('english', coalesce(new.xml,'')); return new; end $BODY$ LANGUAGE plpgsql VOLATILE COST 100; When I try to insert a value into this table, I get: ================================== ERROR: function to_tsvector(unknown, xml) does not exist LINE 1: SELECT to_tsvector('english', coalesce(new.xml)) ^ HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts. QUERY: SELECT to_tsvector('english', coalesce(new.xml)) CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function source.update_xml_tsv() line 5 at assignment ********** Error ********** ERROR: function to_tsvector(unknown, xml) does not exist SQL state: 42883 Hint: No function matches the given name and argument types. You might need to add explicit type casts. Context: PL/pgSQL function source.update_xml_tsv() line 5 at assignment ============================================= But I can do select to_tsvector('English', 'This is a problem') without a problem. What is causing this? Regards Johann -- Because experiencing your loyal love is better than life itself, my lips will praise you. (Psalm 63:3)
