Thanks Anreas but I think that's not a issue. The issue is something to do
with "$1". I don't know how to get rid of it.

techdb=# INSERT INTO log_table(id) SELECT 5 EXCEPT SELECT id FROM log_table
WHERE id = 5;
INSERT 0 1
techdb=# select * from log_table;
 id |  txid  |           txtime
----+--------+----------------------------
  5 | 196552 | 2010-04-22 09:30:10.509326
(1 row)
techdb=#

Could anyone please help me out here.

Thanks,
Jignesh
