Trigger using function written in PL/PGSQL returns "Unrecognized language specified"
I am writing my first trigger & function.
First question:
---------------
I can't get psql to take the function declaration.
ds=# > CREATE FUNCTION trigger_insert_update_copay()
ds-# RETURNS opaque
ds-# RETURNS opaque AS 'BEGIN
ds'# new.copay = (new.allowable * new.percent);
ds'# RETURN new;
ds'# END;'
ds-# LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'
ds-# Error: ERROR: Unrecognized language specified in a CREATE FUNCTION:
'plpgsql'. Recognized languages are sql, C, internal and the created
procedural languages.
Here is my function:
CREATE FUNCTION trigger_insert_update_copay()
RETURNS opaque -- should this be NUMERIC(??) or FLOAT4?
AS 'BEGIN
new.copay = (new.allowable * new.percent);
RETURN new;
END;'
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
Here is my Trigger:
CREATE TRIGGER trigger_copay
BEFORE INSERT
ON coverage
FOR EACH ROW
EXECUTE PROCEDURE trigger_insert_update_copay();
Second question:
----------------
It is supposed to multiply the 'allowable' and 'percent' field and leave
the result in 'copay'. Is
new.copay = (new.allowable * new.percent);
RETURN new;
The correct code to do that?
FYI:

Hi folks
My installation of phpPgAdmin has suddenly stopped working. I am not
very experienced in this area and have run out of ideas. Any pointers
would be much appreciated.
THE SYMPTOMS:
- To summarise, I get all the forms primed with the initial data
from the default DB, but it won't run any queries via links or
fields.
- Either nothing happens, I get a duplicate LH pane, or I get an
error. For example if I click on "select" I get the message:
Warning: PostgreSQL query failed:
ERROR: Relation '' does not exist in /www/htdocs/phpPgAdmin/tbl_select.php on line 12
PostgreSQL said: ERROR: Relation '' does not exist
Your query: SELECT * FROM "" LIMIT 1
WHAT I HAVE CHECKED
- I am logging on as the SU who owns all the databases
- PHP/Postgres is working fine - I can access the databases via psql
and PHP scripts without problems.
- I re-intalled phpPgAdmin from scratch.
So, advice would be very welcome - it's a great app and I am missing
it!

PS I did post this to the phpPgAdmin specialist list but without
reply. Sorry for the cross posting, but I am very keen to get this
fixed.
