Hi Ned, Just as information filler, which version of PostgreSQL, and which operating system? :-) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift > ERROR: heap_mark4update: (am)invalid tid > WARNING: Error occurred while executing PL/pgSQL function issuewomaterial > WARNING: line 40 at SQL statement -- "My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who work and those who take the credit.

I don't know if this is terribly helpful, but the message was around in 7.2.x, look at src/backend/access/heap/heapam.c around line 1808 (or 1823 in the 7.3.x code) That said, I've not seen it before, perhaps you can expand upon what your function is doing?

We've done a bit more digging, and think we understand the problem. Looks like 7.3.1 is just now taking advantage of a performanceflag that has been ignored up to now. The error message is a bit unclear. When we close this out internally, we'll document our findings to the list. So, in short, "never mind."
