Hi,
I need to use the BEGIN WORK; and COMMIT WORK; to lock a table when I'am doing a SELECT and UPDATE operation.
The code is not compiling, the error is:
[error]ERROR: syntax error at or near "work" at character 1
QUERY: work
CONTEXT: SQL statement in PL/PgSQL function "apr_apanhar_ownership_email" near line 7
[/error]
And the code is:
[code]
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "public"."apr_apanhar_ownership_email" (ppid int4, out ppid_email_envio int4) RETURNS integer AS
$body$
DECLARE
pPID alias for $1;
vID_EMAIL_ENVIO int4;
BEGIN
begin work;
lock table atem_emails_envios in access exclusive mode;
select id_email_envio from atem_emails_envios
where dat_sended is null
and (i_started is null or i_started < (current_timestamp - '2 hours'::interval))
and (pid is null or pid = pPID)
order by dat_inserted asc
limit 1
into vID_EMAIL_ENVIO;
update atem_emails_envios
set
i_started = current_timestamp,
pid = pPID
where id_email_envio = vID_EMAIL_ENVIO;
commit work;
ppid_email_envio := vID_EMAIL_ENVIO;
END;
$body$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE RETURNS NULL ON NULL INPUT SECURITY INVOKER;
[/code]
What is wrong here? Can someone give me a clue.
Best Regards,
