Can anybody tell me why the following code when activated
by a select only affects the first line of the table???
create or replace function increase(integer)
returns void as 'update tab set price=price*(1+$1/100.0)' 
language sql;
Thanks.

Works fine here.

regression=# create table tab (price numeric);
CREATE TABLE
regression=# insert into tab values(1);
INSERT 154584 1
regression=# insert into tab values(10);
INSERT 154585 1
regression=# insert into tab values(100);
INSERT 154586 1
regression=# select * from tab;price
-------    1   10  100
(3 rows)

regression=# create or replace function increase(integer)
regression-# returns void as 'update tab set price=price*(1+$1/100.0)'
regression-# language sql;
CREATE FUNCTION
regression=# select increase(42);increase
----------

(1 row)

regression=# select * from tab;         price
--------------------------  1.42000000000000000000 14.20000000000000000000142.00000000000000000000
