You're using the literal value 'intval' instead of its value, thus the syntax error. You can simplify the statement to this: exptime := current_timestamp + intval; But I think the entire function can be shortened to: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getUnitTimeLength(int) RETURNS TIMESTAMP AS ' SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP::timestamp + unitTimeLength FROM customer.groups WHERE groupsID = $1 ' LANGUAGE sql; You don't need to check for NULL because the result of the addition will already be NULL if either operand is NULL. Casting CURRENT_TIMESTAMP is necessary to avoid a "return type mismatch" error. -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
