I had tried it exactly the way I wrote it in python as a function and it
worked.
Just in case I tried changing it to return ("OK") as you suggested and
got the same error.
Thank You

I don't know plpythonu but python ;-) As I really understood your
problem you want to return strings. In Pytho return("OK" ) should work ;-)
