1 is not acceptable, and 2 kinda sucks. Please try adding this to SPI.xs, #ifndef aTHX_ #define aTHX_ #endif recompile and test by calling spi_exec_query with more than 2 arguments like this: create function should_croak() returns text language plperl as $$ my $rv = spi_exec_query("select 1",5,"blurfl"); return $rv->{status}; $$; select should_croak(); cheers andrew ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
