["Minal A. Aryamane" <minalac@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hello all,

I desparately need help in developing stored procedure using postgresql 8.0. I am using pgadmin for developing the stored procs. Can anyone please help me, The docs are really not helpful.

 

 am trying to pass values through  a jsp page wherein I am accessing this stored procedures by the following select ststemet

 

SELECT sp_build_course('ETLCRC0001:ETLCRC0010:', 'CRCSUB0001:CRCSUB0001:', 'ABC', 'minal' )

 

the function is as below:

 

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION sp_build_course("varchar", "varchar", "varchar", "varchar")
  RETURNS text AS

when I run it I get the following error:

ERROR:  syntax error at or near "$1" at character 6
CONTEXT:  PL/pgSQL function "sp_build_course" line 45 at SQL statement.

 

Can someone please look into the procedure and tell me where I have gone wrong.
