I'm confused now because if i try my SQL command alone it works without any problem, but in the following pglSQL code, it does not :-(

IF (outResult = 1) THEN
 return true;
ELSE
 EXECUTE 'create table sw.tmp_import (id serial NOT NULL CONSTRAINT id_key PRIMARY KEY, software VARCHAR(1024), barcode VARCHAR(10), username VARCHAR(1024), area VARCHAR(512), locality VARCHAR(512)) WITH (OIDS=FALSE);';
 EXECUTE 'ALTER TABLE sw.tmp_import OWNER TO usr_audit';
 return false;
END IF;

why ?

thx.

This is what i did at the beginning and it did not work. But now i've just discovered that my create table command was wrong...so it's ok. :-)
thx.

A very simple and incomplete example:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION new_table(int) returns bool AS

SELECT new_table(1);



Use EXECUTE and be sure you can't be the next victim of SQL injection. If you need some userinput in the EXECUTE-statement, use quote_literal() and/or quote_ident().
