You've declared your function as being written in SQL, and it looks like
it's in PL/pgSQL, the following works for me:
CREATE FUNCTION "get_new_id1" () RETURNS bigint AS'declare id bigint;begin id:=nextval(\'id_sequence\'::text);
returnid;end;
'LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE ;
You may need to run createlang plpgsql on your database first.
