Hello again,
This is working ! Thanks...
Is it better to use varchar as parameter, or just "text" ? The colmuns I'm
updating through this function are varchars.
I'm still surprised about 1 thing : it seems PostgreSQL is not checking for
existing tables or columns.
Like this : UPDATE tbl_table_last_change
SET last_user = current_user,
Table tbl_table_last_change doesn't exist yet, but still postgreSQL is
acception the function definition...
So, I guess, there is no early checking on tables/fields ?
Thanks for your help, for sure I would never find the solution, I had no
idea about the casting...
Best regards, Nico
