Thread: User defined functions through ODBC

User defined functions through ODBC

Hi

I'm running PostgreSQL v6.4.2 on Red Hat Linux 6.0. I use it on a Windows NT
server 4.0 with service pack 5 through ODBC calls; the ODBC driver is the
one from Insight Distributions System, v6.40.00.06. The IP address of the NT
machine is specified as "trust" in pg_hba.conf.

I've been playing a bit with PL/pgSQL ... I find it quite usefull. But I
have one problem: The functions I create seem to be accessible only from
within the psql utility. When I try to run a query from the network, I get
an ODBC error stating that the function doesn't exist. Queries not involving
user-defined functions run fine.

Here is one of these functions:

create function plan_text(int2) returns text as '
begin    if $1 is null then        return ''10 hrs'';    end if;
    if $1 <= 10 then        return ''10 hrs'';    end if;
    if $1 <= 30 then        return ''30 hrs'';    end if;
    if $1 <= 60 then        return ''60 hrs'';    end if;
    return ''Illimité'';
end;
' language 'plpgsql';



So this query works from within psql:
SELECT hist_id, client_id, month, plan_text(plan) FROM history WHERE
client_id = 3;

But not through a network ODBC call. What am I missing? I created the user
"sql", and everything in this database is owned and operated with this uid.
I tried creating the function as the "postgres" superuser; I tried to
authenticate differently, but I get nothing.

If I use pgAdmin 6.4.3 beta, and have it list the functions, "plan_text"
appears in the list, but the query fails. Anyone has an idea?

Thanks,

Nicolas Cadou






OFF-TOPIC: Postgresql for NT?

From

I have read somewhere that Postgresql has been ported to Windows NT, but
can't find it now.

Does somebody on this list know whether there are any binaries for NT
available and where?  I could not find any at ftp.postgresql.org.
