Обсуждение: Function problems redux

Hello,

Here is my function. It takes two variables a_artiste(name, forename).

DECLARE
artiste_id individu.individu_id%TYPE;
nom ALIAS FOR $1;
prenom ALIAS FOR $2;
ival INTEGER := nextval('individu_serial');
art TEXT := 'artiste';
curr INTEGER := currval('individu_serial');
BEGIN
SELECT INTO artiste_id * FROM individu WHERE to_ascii(nom) ILIKE
to_ascii(individu.nom) AND to_ascii(prenom) ILIKE
to_ascii(individu.prenom) AND type ILIKE 'collection' OR type2 ILIKE
'artiste';
IF NOT FOUND THEN
INSERT INTO individu (individu_id,nom,prenom,type2) VALUES (ival, nom,
prenom, art)
RETURN curr;
END IF;
RETURN artiste_id;
END;

ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "return"
DEBUG:  Last error occured while executing PL/pgSQL function a_artiste
DEBUG:  line 11 at SQL statement

This works just fine for known artists but my IF NOT FOUND clause is
seriously broken

HELP =:-D

Cheers
Tony

Don't you need a semicolon at the end of that insert into line in the
if not found?

there is a missing ; in the line

>INSERT INTO individu (individu_id,nom,prenom,type2) VALUES (ival, nom,
>prenom, art)

...

I got that one after hitting send... sorry

Now on to todays question:

how do I get currval and nextval to work in pl/pgsql? They seem to be stuck and won't update during the session.

Cheers
