Re: No way to have error message on pgadmin III pg 8.0

Thanks for your answer.

a validator seems to be set (plpgsql_validator)
and the validator function exists
(
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION plpgsql_validator( oid) RETURNS void AS
'$libdir/plpgsql', 'plpgsql_validator'
LANGUAGE 'c' VOLATILE;
)

I also tried to call my function (sometimes, when the function is
syntaxcicaly correct but wrong on another way) from another window.
But unfortunately i get the same kind of result : no messages. the only
way to debug is to add some "return 1 ... return 2 ... to know
approximatively where i'ts wrong.

not easy !

thanks again, I search..

pg 8.0

where working on pgadminIII to writing a function (on windows, postgre
8.0)

if I fortget a ";" or a ")" (for all other errors toot,

I get absolutely nothing when I run the crate or alter function (F5)

I just know that there is an error because I don't have the message
"query exucuted ...", but th'ats all

I think I tried everything , but no way to have the error messages like
"syntax error at line N"

Unfortunately PostgreSQL doesn't validate most functions when they are
created. pl/pgsql does have a basic validator, but it is possible it is not
enabled, check it's properties in pgAdmin and ensure a validator is listed.
Either way, it is far from perfect, and the best option I find is to have a
test query or queries setup in another window ready to run as soon as you've
updated the function. That will show you where any errors are found.
