Another example where we are getting the same error is from the call of the

ctx.update(""

PostgreSQL doesn't alllow named arguments when calling functions and function calls must be part of a SQL statement: select func(?,?,?,?.?);  this applied even to functions that do not return results.  IOW, PostgreSQL doesn't have stored procedures.

 
 Guess I should have re-read the docs.


Named arguments are a thing so the main problem is that you don't have a select before your function name.  Though I would have expected a different error message...
