Making me lose my cool. Here is how it goes:
I have the following Stored Proc, Which I intend to find the age in months of a date...
CREATE FUNCTION interval_months(TIMESTAMP) RETURNS INTEGER AS '
DECLARE
docDate ALIAS FOR $1;
len INTEGER;
BEGIN
SELECT INTO len * FROM (SELECT ((date_part(''year'',age(docDate))*12)+(date_part(''month'',age(docDate)))) AS a;
RETURN len;
END
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
The problem is that it does not run and I cannot for the life of me tell why.
I run it with the following in psql:
select interval_months(file_date) from (select min(file_date) as file_date from fileattributes) AS a;
And I get the folllowing error:
NOTICE: Error occurred while executing PL/pgSQL function interval_months
NOTICE: line 5 at select into variables
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near ""
I can't see the error, I've lost my mind.... It's friday........
