Hi,
I am upgrading a system from postgresql 8.4.8 (fedora 13 x64) to postgresql 9.0.5 (fedora 15 x64). As I build a
databaseI've noticed that the following works on 8.4.8 but does not work on 9.0.5. Can someone tell me why this is not
legalsyntax in 9.0.5 but is legal in 8.4.8 please:
===snip===
create type mytype
as
(
somekey integer,
open numeric(14, 2)
);
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION myfunc(IN INTEGER, IN NUMERIC(14, 2))
RETURNS VOID
AS $$
DECLARE
somekey ALIAS FOR $1;
rec mytype;
BEGIN
rec.somekey = somekey;
-- 9.0.5 will fail at the dot character in the
-- following line here with syntax error sqlstate 42601
-- but 8.4.8 is happy.
rec.open = 32;
-- ^
RETURN;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
===snip===
