Hi Bartek,
 
Thanks for the quick response.
 
Syntax error cleared up and loads fine but executing the stored procedure fails to update the row.
 
Regards,
 
Patrick

Hi,
instead of 
update workorderRecord set wfstatus='failed'; 

try: 
workorderRecord.wfstatus := 'failed'; 

I haven't tested, but workorderRecord is ROWTYPE, so shouldn't be updated like a table.
I'm sticked to 9.1, hope the same is for 8.1 http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/plpgsql-declarations.html

According to doc for 8.3 it looks the same (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/plpgsql-declarations.html), so should work.

Regards,
Bartek

Hi,

I'm trying to update a record within a for loop and at the point of updating I get the following syntax error:

ERROR:  syntax error at or near "$1"
LINE 1: update  $1  set wfstatus='failed'
                ^
QUERY:  update  $1  set wfstatus='failed'
CONTEXT:  SQL statement in PL/PgSQL function "workorder_status_integrity_check" near line 13


********** Error **********

ERROR: syntax error at or near "$1"
SQL state: 42601
Context: SQL statement in PL/PgSQL function "workorder_status_integrity_check" near line 13


Below is the procedure in question using Postgres 8.1:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION workorder_status_integrity_check() RETURNS integer AS $$
DECLARE 
     workorderRecord workorder%ROWTYPE; 
     declare counter int DEFAULT 0;
BEGIN 
    
     FOR workorderRecord IN SELECT * from workorder LOOP
    
     IF workorderRecord.wfstatus = 'canceled' THEN
        counter = counter +1;
     ELSEIF workorderRecord.wfstatus = 'finished' THEN
        counter = counter +1;  
     ELSE
        update workorderRecord set wfstatus='failed';
       
     END IF;
     END LOOP; 
     RETURN counter; 
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

Thanks, Patrick
