plpgsql - cont'd

Hmm, this is the third time this has happened.. I am using 7.1 Bert 3, so I
expected some things like this... When deleting and adding functions back,
when I run them I get :

ERROR:  plpgsql: cache lookup for proc 49237 failed

-- What's happening there and is there anyway to fix this without having to
dump/restore (which is what I've had to do thus far.. ) ?

Thanks!

dump/restore is the hard way.  If you delete and recreate a function,
the new incarnation has a new OID, so anything that referred to the old
OID is now broken, and has to be deleted/recreated itself.  Triggers
are one such reference.  Cached query plans are another, although I
don't think that's the issue here.  How are you invoking the functions,
anyway?

Ok, after some more playing, this works.

CREATE FUNCTION invoice_payment() RETURNS OPAQUE AS '
BEGIN

   UPDATE invoice_master SET total = total - NEW.amount,updated = now(),
is_paid=(CASE WHEN total::numeric = NEW.amount::numeric THEN TRUE::bool ELSE
FALSE::bool END) WHERE invoice_id = NEW.invoice_id;

   RETURN NEW;

END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';


Thanks again for answering my stupid little questions, Tom :-)
