Subject: [NOVICE] Installation of plpgsql using createlang comand

Hello all -

 

I am getting "ERROR:  No namespace has been selected to create in" when I try to use the createlang utility with the syntax-

 

createlang plpgsql dev

 

(where dev is DBNAME).  I can't seem to find any info in the docs on this.  Using 7.3.4 on Linux RedHat9.0. Any suggestions on how to install plpgsql greatly appreciated. Thanks,BGH

Hmm, have you deleted the public schema or something like that?  It's
unhappy because the default search path is turning up empty.

            regards, tom lane

Thanks Tom - yes I deleted the public schema- sounds like this may have been
a bad idea.  Perhaps I could set the search path to the schema where the
language will be used (although it sounds like I'd have to install multiple
times for each schema within which I want to use the language?)

Sounds like a better plan is to add the public schema back into the
database. Thanks again.
