Select Command in Procedures

[Adarsh Sharma <adarsh.sharma@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

I am able to execute command successfully through CLI or pgAdmin .

create table user_news_new as select record_id,field_name,field_value,news_date from user_news where field_name in ('SOI','RelLoc','Description','Heading','news_date') and field_value != '' ;

But I don't know when I put this command in a procedure, it shows error :

CREATE FUNCTION user10() RETURNS void AS'
DECLARE
BEGIN
create table user_news_new as select record_id,field_name,field_value,news_date from user_news where field_name in ('SOI','RelLoc','Description','Heading','news_date') and field_value != '' ;
END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';


Error :

globe=# CREATE FUNCTION user10() RETURNS void AS'
globe'# DECLARE

Please help as I stuck with this issue.
