Hi everyone,

I have problems in finding descriptions about how to use 
(*syntactically* and semantically) the datatype 'regproc'; 
though I looked (as I think) at the complete documentation 
coming around with postgres. 

Can anyone tell me, where I can find relevant
information and especially, I would appreciate, if someone can give
me one or two  examples for using parameterized and variable
procedures. 


As an example for occurring problems, look at: 
___________________________________________________________

monitor mydb
Welcome to the C POSTGRES terminal monitor

Go 
* create test1 (nr = int4) \g

Query sent to backend is "create test1 (nr = int4) "
CREATE
Go 
* create test2 (p = regproc) \g

Query sent to backend is "create test2 (p = regproc) "
CREATE
Go 
* append test1 (nr = 100) \g

Query sent to backend is "append test1 (nr = 100) "
APPEND 129688
Go 
* append test2 (p = "retrieve (test1.nr) where test1.nr = 100") \g

Query sent to backend is "append test2 (p = "retrieve (test1.nr) where test1.nr = 100") "
Error: No response from the backend, exiting...

Thanx in advance,
