Hi Friends
Can u please help to write a function for the following scenario?
I have 3 table’s user_roles, principals and roles.
I have to write a function in postgresql which should excepts 2 parameters (name, password)
With those 2 parameters the query should be executed and return the result.(Result of the query will be 1 or more rows).
The query is working fine if executed it manually by hardcoding the values for name and password, but is as to be written in function so that I can send different values.
“select u.role_id,u.user_id,p.name,p.creation_date,p.telephone_number,p.email,p.remarks,p.city,p.state,p.country,p.postal_address,p.company_name,p.department_name,p.contact_person,
p.role_group,p.role_description,p.first_name,p.last_name,p.pincode,p.status,p.department_id,p.designation_id,r.role_name,r.right_edit,r.right_filter,r.right_search,r.right_browse,
r.right_print, r.right_download,r.right_admin_user,r.right_image_creator,r.right_vector_download,r.right_wps,r.right_queries_filter,r.right_google_map,r.right_user_management,
r.right_route_analysis, r.right_legend,r.right_treeview,r.insert,r.update,r.delete,r.query,r.lock from user_roles u,.principals p,roles r where p.PRINCIPAL_ID = u.USER_ID and
r.role_id = u.role_id and p.name=? and p.password=?”
Something like this:
create or replace function retrieve_user(uname text, pwd text)
returns table (role_id integer, user_id integer, name text, .... more columns ...)
as
$$
SELECT u.role_id,
u.user_id,
p.name,
p.creation_date,
p.telephone_number,
.... more columns ...
FROM user_roles u,
principals p,
roles r
WHERE p.principal_id = u.user_id
AND r.role_id = u.role_id
AND p.name = $1
AND p.password = $2
$$
language SQL;
Then you can do:
select *
from retrieve_user('foo', 'bar');
Personally I'd prefer to create view that wraps that select statement and then simply do a
select *
from user_view
where name = 'foo'
and password = 'bar'
