Hi,

I am using POSTGRES to build a database. I have a question to ask some of you. Any answer is appreciated. The problem is that I use "define function" to define a function (postquel language) to append some data to a database, when I call this function, the system tells me "no such attribute or function". I have tried that any postquel commands are fine except "append" command under define function. I don't what is wrong with it. please help!!! Thank you.

the program is following:

define function appay
  (language="postquel", returntype=int4)
   arg is (text, int4, char16)
   as "append emp (name = $1, salary = $2, dept = $3)
     retrieve (x = 1)"\g
