please disregard my last question (below). looks like all of my problems,
including the typeidTypeRelid exception, were related to shady characters
from dos.
thanks again for all of your help.

Ah, you are correct.
Okay, I think I'm close...when I run my function (or any function), I get
the following runtime error:
ERROR: typeidTypeRelid: Invalid type - oid = 0
The exact text of the fn is:
CREATE FUNCTION sp_person_resource() RETURNS OPAQUE AS '
BEGIN INSERT INTO resource(resourceid, name, type, description) values
(1906, ''chris'', ''person'', ''com.commnav....'');
RETURN NEW;
END;'
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
What does that error mean? Note that I was getting the same error when I
was running a SELECT fn as well.
thanks
chris

The message looks just like that, eh? It's probably complaining about a
carriage return character in the text. Don't prepare your scripts with
DOS-style newline sequences in them. (For 7.1, plpgsql has been fixed
to accept \r as whitespace, but current versions don't...)
