Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Re: Re: Is package_exec_plsql able to handle multiple definitions of the same function (PG)?

The reason is so that its "easier" to call postgresql functions. For example content_item__new is up to 19 parameters last time I checked. There is a simplified version with 4 or 5 parameters that maybe use useful.

Remember that previous to package_exec_plsql and the drive to move most functions up into Tcl procedures there were many calls to plsql functions in XQL files. Now that we have package_exec_plsql and are moving more functions into Tcl procs, we don't really need the overloaded functions.

So to summarize, only the function that matches the oracle version should have define_function_args called for it. I fixed this for content_template__new on oacs-5-1 and HEAD with an upgrade script.
