Subject: libpq ERROR:  overflow on numeric ABS(value) ...
Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2003 14:25:03 -0700 (PDT)
Message-ID: <200308072125.h77LP7o07576@mail.osdl.org> (raw)

Hello, I need some help understanding an error message.  I've got a
program using libpq where I do a:
	DECLARE mycursor CURSOR FOR SELECT new_order(...)
	FETCH ALL IN mycursor

and I get the resulting error from the FETCH more than half the time:
	ERROR:  overflow on numeric ABS(value) >= 10^4 for field with precision 4 scale 0

My new_order function is a C library that returns an integer that
returns a number from 0 to 30.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks!
