PLPython function and multiple line insert - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi everyone,

I hope, I am on the right list. If not my apology.


I'd like to insert multiple lines as following with PLPython:

SQL statement:
INSET INTO table1 (field1, field2, field3)
    VALES ('abc', 'abc', TRUE),
          ('def', 'def', FALSE),
               ('ghi', 'ghi', TRUE);

Here the proposed function:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION insert_rows()
RETURNS boolean AS
$$
.
.
.
   sql = "("INSERT INTO table1 (field1, field2, field3)
               VALUES ('abc', 'abc', TRUE),
                  ('def', 'def', FALSE),
                  ('ghi', 'ghi', TRUE");"
   pypl.execute(sql)
.
.
$$
LANGUAGE 'plpythonu' VOLATILE

I ran into trouble with quoting this SQL statement in PLPython (PostgreSQL
8.3.7). Any ideas/suggestions how to quote it either with pypl.execute()
or pypl.plan()?

Thanks for any suggestions and help in advance,
Andi
