Hi, I've created a function like this : CREATE FUNCTION tester(INT4) RETURNS BOOL AS ' DECLARE r RECORD; p ALIAS FOR $1; BEGIN SELECT INTO r id_dpt FROM dpts WHERE id_dpt=p; IF NOT FOUND THEN RETURN FALSE; ELSE RETURN TRUE; END IF; END; ' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'; All is ok at creation. But now , how can i use my function ? i would like a thing like : SELECT tester(14) AS ok; But is make a Postgresql parser error How to do then ?? Thanks for any help or links (other than the postgresql.org website...) ! ;) Regards, Fred ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
