If you're new to PostgreSQL then have a look at the documentation: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/ To learn about stored procedures, see the "Server Programming" part, especially the "Extending SQL" and "PL/pgSQL - SQL Procedural Language" chapters: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/server-programming.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/extend.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/plpgsql.html -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/

Have you considered looking at the documentation? It is fairly well documented there. % man "CREATE FUNCTION" is quite likely to provide you with the documentation you require. -- If this was helpful, <http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=cbbrowne> rate me http://www3.sympatico.ca/cbbrowne/postgresql.html "We have no need to punish Pascal programmers.

HI, after my initial message yesterday asking how to use stored procedures in postgresql, it has become clear to me that I need to run a script called createlang to install pgplsql into template 1 database. I am running postgresql 7.4 on os x 10.3. Postgresql is situated in directory /usr/local/pgsql. I have been unable to locate the createlang script so my question is how do I intsall pgplsql on version 7.4 on OS X 10.3? regards Uzo On 29 Dec 2003, at 02:02, Christopher Browne wrote: > uzo@beya-records.com (beyaRecords - The home Urban music) wrote: >> I am new to this list and the world of postgreSQL, and would like to >> know how create stored procedures in postgreSQL. > > Have you considered looking at the documentation? > > It is fairly well documented there. > > % man "CREATE FUNCTION" > > is quite likely to provide you with the documentation you require. > -- > If this was helpful, <http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=cbbrowne> rate me > http://www3.sympatico.ca/cbbrowne/postgresql.html > "We have no need to punish Pascal programmers.

Whether you need to install plpgsql in template1 or not depends on what you want to do: if you want all databases created in the future to automatically have plpgsql, then it makes sense to create the language in template1. If you want only certain databases to have plpgsql, then you might want to create the language in only those databases but not in template1. I'm assuming (possibly incorrectly) that you're using template1 for its intended purpose (database template) and not for any work. > I am running postgresql 7.4 on os x 10.3.

You could mess around with CREATE LANGUAGE but createlang is easier. Where have you looked for createlang? It's typically installed in the same directory as the other PostgreSQL programs (psql, createdb, etc.). If not, then try running something like "locate createlang" or "find / -name createlang" to see if you can find it. It would be odd for a PostgreSQL installation to be missing some of its utilities, so I'm guessing it's there somewhere. -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/
