I am writing functions and I find it curious that CREATE FUNCTION does
not do syntax checking.
Example:
test=# CREATE FUNCTION foo(INTEGER) RETURNS BOOLEAN
test-# AS 'this is total crap' LANGUAGE plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
test=# select foo(1);
ERROR: syntax error at or near "this"
CONTEXT: compile of PL/pgSQL function "foo" near line 1
The statement itself is valid, but the function causes runtime syntax
errors. Seems like one could run the interpreter with bogus, but
syntactically correct arguments to the function, creating the
instruction tree. Then run through the tree and try to create execution
plans for all the statements. The cost of this would be well worth *my*
time ;-)
Is there a technical reason this doesn't happen?
TIA,
\<.

Try 8.0 ;-)
regression=# CREATE FUNCTION foo(INTEGER) RETURNS BOOLEAN
regression-# AS 'this is total crap' LANGUAGE plpgsql;

We could be doing more along this line, but it's a start ...

Hello all,
I am writing a script where I need to use the system() function to call
htpasswd. I can do this just fine on the command line...works great
(see attached file, test.php). When my webserver runs that part of the
script (see attached file, snippet.php), though, it doesn't go through.
I don't get an error message or anything...it just returns a "1"
(whereas it should return a "0") as far as I can tell. I have read the

I'm trying to figure out how to test function arguments by adding a
decorator.
@decorate
def func( x):
# do something
return x
This allows me to wrap and replace the arguments with my own, but not
get the arguments that the original function received.

I downloaded the latest Komodo (3.1) and configured it for python 2.4

Even for correct files, it shows a "Syntax checking error: Error

fine (modulo the new 2.4 syntax of course). Both 2.3 and 2.4 are built

I am trying to pass the address of a C++ function into a Fortran

Does anyone know how to do this, I have tried everything in my book.

I mean, it's very convenient when default parameters
can be in any position, like
def a_func(x = 2, y = 1, z):
...
(that defaults must go last is really a C++ quirk which
is needed for overload resolution, isn't it?)
and when calling, just omit parameter when you want to
use defaults:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
