Hello
in this case you must not use quoting
postgres=# create or replace function anytest(val text) returns boolean as $$
begin
perform 1 where val in ('hello', 'world', 'test');
if not found then
return false;
else
return true;
end if;
end;
$$ language plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
Time: 3,342 ms
postgres=# select anytest('hello');
anytest
---------
t
(1 row)
Time: 42,034 ms
postgres=# select anytest('helloa');
anytest
---------
f
(1 row)
Time: 0,468 ms
postgres=#
you have to use quoting only together dynamic sql, etc EXECUTE statement
regards
