I'm debugging a trigger in plpgsql and for some reason or the "select into <var>" does not seem to work. Here is an unaltered snippet of my trigger code:
raise notice ''this id : %'',NEW.id; select into i_hierarchy_id hierarchy_id from link_def LD, link L, object_link OL where OL.id = NEW.id and L.id = OL.link_id and LD.id = L.link_def_id; raise notice ''i_hierarchy_id: %'',i_hierarchy_id; in the log this results in: NOTICE: this id : 5265 NOTICE: i_hierarchy_id: <NULL> but when I perform the query on the command line I do get a result: select hierarchy_id from link_def LD, link L, object_link OL where OL.id = 5264 and L.id = OL.link_id and LD.id = L.link_def_id; hierarchy_id -------------- 1 (1 row) i_hierarchy_id is declared as integer and is not used before this code nor as a column name anywhere. Does anyone have a clue what is going wrong? I use Postgresql 7.3.3 on FreeBSD 4.5. -- __________________________________________________ "Nothing is as subjective as reality" Reinoud van Leeuwen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.xs4all.nl/~reinoud __________________________________________________ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
