I am trying to create a function but I don't get further than this and something is already wrong... The function so far look like this..: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getNettoHastighet (INTEGER) RETURNS INTEGER AS ' DECLARE ordreid_val ALIAS FOR $1; tmprec RECORD; opplag integer; total bigint; total_hour float; hastighet integer; BEGIN select into tmprec (extract(epoch from sum(Til - Fra)) * 1000.0) as total from Log_stop where OrdreID = ordreid_val and StopType = 1; total := tmprec.total; return 0; END; ' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'; I get the following error if I try to create the function..: [Error Code: 0, SQL State: 42601] ERROR: syntax error at or near "$1" Any hints on what's wrong?
