Thread: PL/PGSQL functions suddenly not working

Hi,
I have a couple of functions in my database (v7.3.4) and noticed that
after a certain period of time, the functions fail to work This happened
now serveal times and the function fail at different points. The did go
away when I restarted the postmaster.  At one time the function always
failed when another heavy job was running on the system.

Is this a bug? Does anybody have the same experience ?

Thanks
Alex

Shridhar,
yes the behavior is a bit strange. I cant see much in the log except
that it says parse error  ad a date field which does not make sense to me.
It only accesses two tables  which are quite small.  The function fails
now when I run a heavy updated job so my feeling is that I either run
out of connections or memory related.

Can you provide more information? Schema, function bodies, relevant logs etc. It
is hard to guess what could be wrong with it.

For sure I find it pretty strange behaviour.
