Using Postgres Version 9.0.4:

 

We are migrating our Sybase stored procedures to Postgres and need to be able to drop/replace the SPs, making needed changes to input parameters to fix issues/differences between Sybase and Postgres.

 

However, we keep getting this error when we drop/replace the PG/SP:

 

‘ERROR : cannot change name of input parameter’

 

The  ‘create function’ documentation states:

 

‘You cannot change the name already assigned to any input parameter (although you can add names to parameters that had none before).’

 

Other than a complete restore of the database from a dump that does *not* contain the original SP…is there any other way to override this constraint?

 

This makes debugging *extremely* difficult.   If you don’t have your input parameters completely correct the first time…you’re hosed.

 

Many thanks.

Lori
