No, because the syntax TYPENAME 'LITERAL' only works for simple string literals. What you want here is a run-time cast, either CAST(in_until AS interval) or in_until::interval. > I would prefer to call my custom function as > select words_ban_user(1, '1 day', 'attacking other users'); That is not a reason not to declare the argument as interval. > and not as > select words_ban_user(1, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP + '1 day', 'attacking other > users'); Hm? That would be passing a timestamp not an interval. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
