Dear friends,

While trying to allocate about 36 input parameters, I got an error saying t=
hat the max input parameter for a function is only 32.

Is it right? How to overcome this? Because I wanna insert records into a ta=
ble of 55 columns with a lot of NULL able columns.

I am using Postgres 7.3.4 on RH Linux 7.2.

Note: I can't use 2 functions , one to insert 32 rows into the table first =
and the update the remaining columns with other function. Because there are=
 only 27 columns that are not null.

Please shed some light.

Regards
Kumar
