Guys,
I have a requirement to generate the plpgsql procedure code itself by
reading the postgresql metadata or system tables. I don't want to write a
plpgsql procedure every time for every table because I have many tables in
db. I want to generate the procedure for more than 100 tables and write all
the procedure code to a single file which can be used to execute to create
the actual procedure.

While I generate the procedure code I want the code to be added to the next
line in a better readability format. I'm writing the generated code for all
tables in single shot with the help of COPY to PROG

My procedure code is mentioned below. But the generated code is having \n
instead of adding the code to the next line.

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION emp_dts_iot () RETURNS TRIGGER AS
$BODY$\nDECLARE\n nCount INT;\nBEGIN\n IF TG_OP IN ('INSERT') THEN\n
SELECT count(1) INTO nCount FROM employee \n WHERE id =
:NEW.id AND STATUS_FLAG = 9 ; \n IF COALESCE(nCount,0) > 0
THEN\n UPDATE test.employee \n id =
:NEW.\n ,description = :NEW.description\n
,state_flag = 2\n WHERE id = :NEW.id ; \n
ELSE\n\t INSERT INTO employee VALUES ( \n
:NEW.id\n ,:NEW.description\n ,1 ) ; \n
END IF;\n\n ELSIF TG_OP IN ('UPDATE') THEN\n SELECT count(1)
INTO nCount FROM test.employee\n

The code should have been written in the next line instead of \n.

drop procedure insteadoftriggers;
create or replace procedure insteadoftriggers( IN e_owner TEXT,
p_table_name TEXT DEFAULT NULL, emp_owner TEXT DEFAULT 'test')
AS $$
DECLARE
TstTableCursor CURSOR IS SELECT table_name,test_table_name FROM
app_tables WHERE TEST_TABLE_NAME IS NOT NULL AND table_name =
COALESCE(p_table_name,table_name) AND owner= COALESCE(e_owner,owner) ;

l_cnt NUMERIC := 0;
tab TEXT := E'\t';
l_col_str TEXT;
l_table_Name TEXT ;
cKeyCol TEXT DEFAULT '' ;
cWhere TEXT DEFAULT '' ;
trigger_body TEXT ;
cSpace character varying(100) := ' ';
BEGIN
FOR TstTableRec IN TstTableCursor
LOOP
l_table_name := TstTableRec.TABLE_NAME ;
trigger_body :=
'CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION prod.' || TstTableRec.TABLE_NAME || '_IOT()
RETURNS TRIGGER AS $BODY$' || CHR(10) ||
'DECLARE' || CHR(10) ||
' ' || 'nCount INT;' || chr(10) ||
'BEGIN' || chr(10) ||
' ' || 'IF TG_OP IN ' || '(' ||'''''INSERT'''''||') THEN' || chr(10) ||
' SELECT count(1) INTO nCount FROM test.' || TstTableRec.TABLE_NAME
|| chr(10) ||
GetTrigClause(p_tdaowner, lower(TstTableRec.TABLE_NAME), ':NEW.')
|| ' AND STATUS_FLAG = 9 ; ' || chr(10) ||

' '|| 'IF COALESCE(nCount,0) > 0 THEN' || chr(10) ||

Can someone help me here?

Regards,
Nikhil Ingale
