I think you need to set the input parameter equal to a declared variable
 
The input variable is referenced via
 
DECLARE
 
your_int4_paramter ALIAS FOR $1;
 
Begin
Delete from clientinfo where caseid = your_int4_parameter;

Subject: [NOVICE] Using a function to delete rows

How do I create a function that takes as input (int4) and then deletes rows from several tables.  This is what I have tried, but I can't get it to execute:
 
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.deleteclient(int4)
  RETURNS Void AS
'
BEGIN
Delete from clientinfo where caseid = $1;
Delete from caseinfo where caseid = $1;
Delete from tracking where caseid = $1;
Delete from casenotes where caseid = $1;
Delete from creditinfo where caseid = $1;
Delete from debts where caseid = $1;
Delete from education where caseid = $1;
Delete from employer where caseid = $1;
Delete from family where caseid = $1;
Delete from formeremployer where caseid = $1;
Delete from income where caseid = $1;
Delete from other where caseid = $1;
Delete from specialinterests where caseid = $1;
Delete from tracking where caseid = $1;
END'
  LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;
 
Thanks,
Derrick
