This is what i did at the beginning and it did not work. But now i've just discovered that my create table command was wrong...so it's ok. :-)

A very simple and incomplete example:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION new_table(int) returns bool AS

language plpgsql;

SELECT new_table(1);



Use EXECUTE and be sure you can't be the next victim of SQL injection. If you need some userinput in the EXECUTE-statement, use quote_literal() and/or quote_ident().
