3 questions:
1. Can I use CREATE SEQUENCE inside a function?
2. I can create this function but I can't get it to run:
CREATE FUNCTION new_proj_pts_seq(int4)
RETURNS text
AS 'DECLARE proj_ID alias for $1; seq_name TEXT; BEGIN seq_name := ''proj_pts_'' || proj_ID;
createsequence seq_name; END; RETURNS seq_name;'
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
When I do SELECT new_proj_pts_seq(9000);
I get: ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "$1"
The same happens if I assign $1 to proj_ID (instead of aliasing), or
just use $1 in the string concatenation.
I always get the same message.
Considering that all the above is possible/fixable...
3. On the statement 'create sequence seq_name;', will 'seq_name' be
evaluated properly?
Thanks.
