Hello.
As a newbie in the stored procedure programming area I would like to know how
you could do the following with a function in plpgsql.
(It's a theoretical question, so do not suggest changing the tables :-)
I have

 table A :
    id     integer primary key default nextval('something'),
    dohA    integer

table B:
    rid    integer references A,
    dohB    integer

and I wish to create a function "foo( dohA, dohB)" that inserts the values
dohA and dohB into the proper tables A and B and the reference in table B
should of course be connected to the PK in table A. You understand what I
mean, right?

Now, how do I write

   function foo(integer, integer)
      begin work
      ... please fill this space with some code.... !!!!
      commit

Is there some realy good tutorial on this, please tell me so?
TIA, Gunnar.
