Thanks Tom!
Also, how do I check if a language is already created so I don't load
it twice?
"ERROR: language "plpgsql" already exists
SQL state: 42710"
Here is the code fixed.
/*
CREATE LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' HANDLER plpgsql_call_handler
LANCOMPILER 'PL/pgSQL';
CREATE TABLE handles (
handleID_pk serial PRIMARY KEY UNIQUE NOT NULL,
userID_fk integer UNIQUE NOT NULL,
handle text UNIQUE NOT NULL);
CREATE TABLE disallowedHandles (
handle text UNIQUE NOT NULL);
*/
create or replace function IsUsedHandle(h text) returns boolean as $$
declare
num_matches integer;
begin
num_matches := COUNT(*) from handles where handles.handle = h;
return num_matches > 0;
end;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
-- INSERT INTO handles (handle, userid_fk) VALUES ('blah', 0);
select * from IsUsedHandle('blah');
