Hi every body

Recently i wrote my own function into postgesql... and it works perfecly!!,
now i would like use it to index a table like this guy do at the link (
http://www.faqs.org/docs/ppbook/r24254.htm)

but i get the following error

mhc2db=> create index h2iab on precalc (idr(p1,p4,p6,p7,p9,'H-2*IAb'));
ERROR: functions in index expression must be marked IMMUTABLE
mhc2db=>

in this indexation p1,p4,p6,p7,p9 are variables that depends on the field.

could anyone help me?

Where you declare the function, add the modifier IMMUTABLE.

Have a nice day,
