Was getting an error calling a procedure
ERROR: procedure ... does not exist
HINT: No procedure matches the given name and argument types. You
might need to add explicit type casts.
I verify USAGE on the SCHEMA of the proc. OK.
I verify EXECUTE on the FUNCTION. OK.
I verify the names of the parameters, in my CALL with named arguments. OK.
Turns out, thanks to ChatGPT for clueing me in, CALL does NOT support
named parameters. And it's about the least helpful error message
PostgreSQL could have provided IMO. I'd expect something much better
in this specific case, FWIW.
I am not following as:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE public.call_test(IN a integer, IN b integer)
LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $procedure$
BEGIN
RAISE NOTICE 'c = %', a + b;
END;
$procedure$
call call_test (a=>1, b=>2);
NOTICE: c = 3
CALL
You will need to provide more information on your specific case.
That's two unhelpful error messages in a short time :).
Thanks, and again sorry for the rant. Wasted time on this. --DD
