[SQL] error on line 1 trying to execute a script using psql
I am attempting to generate a temporary function to execute some dml with the following script: create or replace function setuplicense() returns integer as $$ declare hwcustid integer := 0; retvalinteger := 0; begin insert into license.customer ( customer_id ) values ( hwcustid ); commit; return retval; end; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql; select setuplicense(); When running this with psql I get the following: Error: syntax error at or near "create" Does anyone have a suggestion as to what is causing this? Thanks
[SQL] running scripts like oracle sqlplus
I have been trying to figure out how I can run a pgsql script like I can run a plsql script with oracle's sqlplus. Here is a sample script file for what I want to run: declare sysuserid integer := 0; hwcustid integer := 0; begin select nextval( 'user_seq' ) into sysuserid; select nextval( 'customer_seq' ) into hwcustid; insert into user ( user_id, customer_id, create_user, update_user ) values ( sysuserid, hwcustid, sysuserid, sysuserid ); insert into customer ( customer_id, create_user, update_user ) values ( hwcustid, sysuserid, sysuserid ); commit; end; I try to run the script in psql and thru pgadmin and cannot seem to make them work. I do not want to turn it into a function. I just want it to execute the block in a fashion similar to Oracle'sqlplus running @scriptfile.sql. Thanks

Re: [SQL] running scripts like oracle sqlplus
Have you tried nextval & currval? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/interactive/functions-sequence.html Something like this: begin insert into user ( user_id, customer_id, create_user, update_user ) values ( nextval(user_seq), nextval(customer_seq), currval(user_seq), currval(user_seq) ); insert into customer ( customer_id, create_user, update_user ) values ( currval(customer_seq), currval(user_seq), currval(user_seq) ); commit; end; On Fri, Jun 18, 2010 at 6:24 PM, Steven Dahlin wrote: > I have been trying to figure out how I can run a pgsql script like I can > run a plsql script with oracle's sqlplus.

Your editor prepends the file with a byte-order mark ("BOM")
that PostgreSQL chokes on (bug #5398). This will be fixed in
9.0 (cf.
http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/release-9-0.html#AEN99331>);
until then you either have to configure your editor not to
save the BOM or chop off the first three bytes yourself
(with tail, sed, Perl & Co.).

Additional error: you can't do a COMMIT inside a function.
