Hi Ho!

Sorry, let me revise the query a bit. I copied and pasted the original one from another big query.

The following query works well:

select count (*)
from item_audit as ia
where audit_ts >= '2008-05-30 00:00:00'
      and audit_ts <= '2008-10-30 00:00:00'
      and 'wst' != (select split_part(category, '-', 2)
                    from description
                    where split_part(category, '-', 1) = 'item'
                          and shorthand = ia.status
                   )

But, when I transform it into the following SQL function,
the function cannot be created barking:

ERROR:  syntax error at or near "-"
LINE 6:        and $1 != (select split_part(category,
'-', 2)"

create or replace function get_I(text, timestamp,
timestamp) returns bigint as
'select count (*)
from item_audit as ia
where audit_ts >= $2
      and audit_ts <= $3
      and $1 != (select split_part(category, '-',
2)
                 from description
                 where split_part(category, '-',
1) = 'item'
                       and shorthand = ia.status
                )
' language sql;

What's wrong?

Thank you.
