I was makeing an SQL function and got an error which on a sintax that I thouhgt would work: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION dicInsertarPalabra(p TEXT) RETURNS INT AS $body$ INSERT INTO public.diccionario (palabra) VALUES (quote_literal(p)); SELECT COALESCE(codigo,0) FROM public.diccionario WHERE palabra = quote_literal(p); $body$ LANGUAGE 'SQL'; Changing p for $1 in the body of the function makes it work. But, can't we label input arguments like how I did here? -- Martín Marqués select 'martin.marques' || '@' || 'gmail.com' DBA, Programador, Administrador -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
