You should better use $$ instead of ' for the function-body. (unless you have a very old pg-version ...) I think the ´ as quoting-sign is also wrong... Rewrite your function to: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION grant_select_to_ro_group() RETURNS TEXT AS $$ DECLARE sql text; rel record; BEGIN FOR rel IN SELECT pg_catalog.quote_ident(s.nspname) AS schema_name, pg_catalog.quote_ident(t.relname) AS relation_name FROM pg_class t, pg_namespace s WHERE t.relkind IN ('r', 'v','S') AND t.relnamespace=s.oid AND s.nspname = 'tisys' order by s.nspname LOOP sql := 'GRANT SELECT ON ' || rel.schema_name || '.' || rel.relation_name || ' TO ro_group'; RAISE NOTICE '%', sql; EXECUTE sql; END LOOP; RETURN 'OK'; END; $$ LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'; now it works: (i have copy&paste your function into a file and edit it there) kretschmer@tux:~$ psql test Zeitmessung ist an. psql (8.4.2) Geben Sie »help« für Hilfe ein. test=# \i grant.sql CREATE FUNCTION Zeit: 239,453 ms test=*# select grant_select_to_ro_group(); grant_select_to_ro_group -------------------------- OK (1 Zeile) Zeit: 48,836 ms Andreas -- Really, I'm not out to destroy Microsoft.
