Please help me to take a look of the erros in my functions. Thanks. - Mailing list pgsql-general

I tried to create function to truncate table
1) when the user call the function just specify the tablename
2) the user can use the function owner privilege to execute the function.

But I got the errors as follows. Please help me to take a look.

Thanks.

Regards.
