Hi All,

I have a stored procedure that fails and don't know how to fix it, so I hope to find some help here.

I works on a table called 'locations' that looks like this:

design=# \d locations
               Table "public.locations"
 Column  |         Type         |      Modifiers
---------+----------------------+---------------------
 store   | character(1)         | not null
 coord   | character varying(8) | not null
 room    | real                 | not null
 mu      | smallint             | not null
 block   | boolean              | default false
 tags    | bit varying(100)     | default B'0'::"bit"
 details | text                 |
Indexes:
    "locations_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (store, coord)
    "store_coord_locations" btree (store, coord)
Check constraints:
    "locations_room_check" CHECK (room >= 0.0::double precision)
Foreign-key constraints:
    "locations_store_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (store) REFERENCES stores(code)


After some work, it tries to execute the following update:

UPDATE locations SET tags=SUBSTRING(bv,1,r),room=room-$3 WHERE coord=$2 AND store=$1;

and the variables, shown by

raise notice '% % % % % %',bv,r,$3,$2,$1,data.room;

look like this:

NOTICE: 1110110000111000000...0 13 4 BK1B ÷ 4.58

The first value is a binary string, 96 bits long, the tail are just zeroes, so I cut it.

The initial values in the table are:

design=# select * from locations where coord='BK1B' and store=chr(247);
 store | coord | room | mu | block |     tags      | details
-------+-------+------+----+-------+---------------+---------
 ÷     | BK1B  | 4.58 |  1 | f     | 1010110000111 | D
(1 row)

And now the error:

ProgrammingError: ERROR: new row for relation "locations" violates check constraint
"location_room_check"
and then the context


If I try to make the update manualy, works flawless (as 4.58-4 >= 0.0).

For now I droped the constrained, but how can I solve it?

Thanks,
Sorin
