Hi,
I am facing a problem. I am unable to call CREATE USER from within a
PL/PgSQL function. I am using Postgres 7.3.2.
The function looks like this (it is more complex in fact, but even if
stripped to this, it does not work anyway):
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
usr_createAccount(integer, name, text, text, bool, bool)
RETURNS bool AS '
BEGIN
CREATE USER $2 WITH PASSWORD $3 NOCREATEDB CREATEUSER IN GROUP "all",
"super";
RETURN true;
END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
I keep getting this:
akcent=# select usr_createAccount(3, 'username', 'somepassword', 'cs',
true, false);
WARNING: Error occurred while executing PL/pgSQL function usr_createaccount
WARNING: line 2 at SQL statement
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "$1" at character 14
I am a bit confused by this error, because there is no "$1" string in
this function. I tried to do a CREATE USER in transaction, because I
suspected it to be the problem, but it worked just fine. Does anyone see
something which I don't ? What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks,
Michal
