Re: PostgreSQL sequence within function

[Clark Allan <clarka@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the help Tony,

But im still having some trouble.

 

Here is the exact function

-------------------------------------------

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION sp_slide_create(int4, bool, bool, bool, varchar, text, varchar, varchar, int4)
RETURNS int4 AS'
DECLARE
 aScriptID ALIAS FOR $1;
 aAllowDGP ALIAS FOR $2;
 aAllowDGO ALIAS FOR $3;
 aWaitForSlideFinish ALIAS FOR $4;
 aTitle ALIAS FOR $5;
 aText ALIAS FOR $6;
 aFlashFileDGP ALIAS FOR $7;
 aFlashFileDGO ALIAS FOR $8;
 aSlideType ALIAS FOR $9;
 
 seqID int4 := nextval("seqslideid");
 
BEGIN
 INSERT INTO tblslides
 (slideid, scriptID, allowdgp, allowdgo, waitforslidefinish, title, text, flashfiledgp, flashfiledgo, slidetype)
 VALUES
 (seqID, aScriptID, aAllowDGP, aAllowDGO, aWaitForSlideFinish, aTitle, aText, aFlashFileDGP, aFlashFileDGO, aSlideType);

 RETURN seqID;
END;'

LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;

-------------------------------------------

 

I can get the code above to fire no problem.  However, when i run the following i get an error.

 

------------------------------------------

select sp_slide_create(88, true, true, true, 'varcharOne', 'textOne', 'varcharTwo', 'varcharThree', 2);

 

ERROR:  column "seqslideid" does not exist
CONTEXT:  PL/pgSQL function "sp_slide_create" line 14 at block variables initialization

------------------------------------------

 

Thanks for the help

All you where really mising was a semi colon afer nextval('myseq') and
the begin end.

CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION getSeq()
