You're using the literal value 'intval' instead of its value, thus
the syntax error. You can simplify the statement to this:
exptime := current_timestamp + intval;
But I think the entire function can be shortened to:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getUnitTimeLength(int) RETURNS TIMESTAMP AS '
SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP::timestamp + unitTimeLength
FROM customer.groups
WHERE groupsID = $1
' LANGUAGE sql;
You don't need to check for NULL because the result of the addition
will already be NULL if either operand is NULL. Casting CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
is necessary to avoid a "return type mismatch" error.
