Hi my friends... I wrote in the last post a question similiar to this. But in this post I clarify better the previous question. I need know how to evaluated if a query is correct without execute it. When I say if a query is correct, is that if I run the query, it did not throw an exception. For example...
create or replace function is_correct(query text) returns boolean as $body$ Declare Begin -- Here I check if the query is correct, but I can't execute this query, because it may make changes in the data base End; $body$ language 'plpgsql';
Is this an academic exercise or are you actually planning on checking sql then executing it if it's ok (according to your function). I love plpgsql but I don't think it's the best option for, just to get started, parsing the incoming sql text - that would be one nasty regexp :)
