Hi all,
As I was reading up on create function etc. while learning plpgsql, I seam to
remember it stated that as well as plpgsql, that other languages are/will be
available including using SQL as the language. However, I cannot find the
syntax to create a function in SQL. Specifically, how you return the result.
As an example, how would I create a SQL function to match the plpgsql
function below?
CREATE FUNCTION getteamno(int4) RETURNS varchar AS '
DECLARE unitno varchar;
BEGIN select into unitno tregion || ''/'' ||to_char(tnumber,''FM000'') from teams where tid = $1;
ifnot found then raise exception ''Team % not found'',$1; return ''''; end if; return unitno;
END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
