function date_part - Mailing list pgsql-sql

Hi,

I need a primary key (int4) in a table which is build from the actual year and a
serial number like 20000001 (year 2000 and the serial number 0001).
If I get the function date_part to build this number like   select       int4(date_part('year', 'now'::datetime) *
10000+ nextval('serial_seq'))   as primkey; 
 
it works.
If I use this in a create table like   create table primtab(      primkey           int4 primary key           default
         int4(date_part('year', 'now'::datetime) * 1000+nextval('serial_seq'))   ); 
 
it never works.ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "'"

If I use it in a create function like   create function primfnc() returns int4     as 'select .... as primnum'
language'sql';
 
it never works.ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "year"

Is there a mistake in the SQL-QUERY's or isn't it implemented?

Thanks for an answer
