Re: error in function, works when typed

Hi Samed,

Thank you for getting back to me. Unfortunately, that wouldn't compile.

Instead I've done it as a separate statement and it works.

Gary

create or replace function service_cleardown(SRID integer, UID integer)
RETURNS integer as $$
DECLARE
ROWCOUNT integer;
BEGIN
select count(sr_id) into ROWCOUNT from service_receptions where sr_id =
SRID;
IF NOT FOUND THEN
raise exception 'Reception ID invalid';
END IF;
select count(sj_id) into ROWCOUNT from service_jobs
where sj_date < CURRENT_DATE and sj_sr_id = SRID and sj_state < 90;
if ROWCOUNT = 0 THEN
return 0;
END IF;
insert into service_jobs_log (sj_id, sj_u_id, sj_text)
select sj_id, UID,'Job cleared down' from service_jobs
where sj_date < CURRENT_DATE and sj_sr_id = SRID and sj_state < 90;
update service_jobs set sj_state=90
where sj_date < CURRENT_DATE and sj_sr_id = SRID and sj_state < 90;
RETURN ROWCOUNT;
END
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
