Thread: Can't see what's wrong with this function?

I am trying to create a function but I don't get further than this and something is already wrong...
The function so far look like this..:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getNettoHastighet (INTEGER) RETURNS INTEGER AS '
DECLARE
    ordreid_val ALIAS FOR $1;
    tmprec RECORD;
    opplag integer;
    total bigint;
    total_hour float;
    hastighet integer;
BEGIN
    select into tmprec (extract(epoch from sum(Til - Fra)) * 1000.0) as total from Log_stop where OrdreID = ordreid_val
andStopType = 1; 
    total := tmprec.total;
    return 0;
END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';


I get the following error if I try to create the function..:

 [Error Code: 0, SQL State: 42601]  ERROR: syntax error at or near "$1"


Any hints on what's wrong?


Regards,

BTJ

Don't use plpgsql variable names that conflict with names you use in
your queries.  In this case it's trying to replace "AS total" with
a reference to that plpgsql variable named total.
