Your function worked fine for me (I copied and pasted).
What PostgeSQL version are you running? EXECUTE is a new feature for
version 7.1.

error while generating and EXECUTEing a query dynamically

Hi all,
The machine I am sending this mail from does not have postgres, but I
did this just this morning so am typing from memory:
CREATE FUNCTION footable() RETURNS INTEGER AS '
DECLARE
sql VARCHAR(1000);
BEGIN
sql := ''CREATE TABLE foo (x INT, y CHAR) '';
EXECUTE sql;
RETURN 1;
END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
Now when I try to execute this function I get an error message saying
parse error at or near ""
I will get the exact function and error output from other machine
tomorrow (the actual query I am generating is more complex) but in the
meantime if anyone can help with this example, I would be most
grateful. Where am I going wrong?
TIA
Gaurav

Hi all, Sorry for following up to my own mail. I went over the function again and realized I was exceeding the size I had allocated for the query string. Never realised I was exceeding the varchar(1000) that I had declared as the string. Apologies for my last follow-up to my query, I sent it from the wrong id and it seems as if the text of my message got stripped out and only quoted part got through.(In fact I remember having snipped most of my original mail while sending too :( -Gaurav On Wed, Sep 12, 2001 at 11:45:16PM +0530, Gaurav Priyolkar wrote: > Hi all, > > The machine I am sending this mail from does not have postgres, but I > did this just this morning so am typing from memory: > -- Sleep: A completely inadequate substitute for caffeine.
