Hi
 
I am trying to append text onto the end of a text variable.
 
I have the text variable P_IDT_ID, I want to add the letter S to the end of it, so I tried the following line in my code:
 
P_IDT_ID := P_IDT_ID && cast(''S'' as text);
 
However, I got the following error message:
 
ERROR:  operator does not exist: text && text
HINT:  No operator matches the given name and argument type(s). You may need to add explicit type casts.
CONTEXT:  SQL statement "SELECT   $1  && cast('S' as text)"
PL/pgSQL function "f_create_index_currency_inversion" line 28 at assignment
Note I am using PL/pgSQL.
 
 
Can you help?
 
Thanks
Adam
