See the "Migration to version 8.1" section of the release notes:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/release-8-1.html

You can probably set the option to "true" in the config if you need to.

I may as well bite the bullet.

Is this the syntax to use ???

 CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION p_id.loopnumber()
 RETURNS "trigger" AS $$

 Update p_id.loop_sequence
 Set function_ = library.devices.designation
 From p_id.loops
 where p_id.loop_sequence.monitor = p_id.devices.devices_id
 and p_id.devices.device_number = library.devices.device_number ;

  RETURN NULL;
 END;
 $$
 LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' ;

 CREATE TRIGGER loopnumbering AFTER INSERT ON p_id.loops
 FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE p_id.loopnumber();

If you're going to migrate to 8.1, you might consider migrating to 8.2
since it's almost released. That depends on your timeline though; 8.1 is
a safer bet if you need stability now.

I think you need library.devices and p_id.devices in the fromlist. Also,
why is p_id.loops in the fromlist if it's not a part of the WHERE?

Thanks Jeff

I'm going through a learning curve. I don't need to add possible
instability.

Thanks again.
