Thread: composite type use in pl/gpsql

Merlin writes”

first, the way to do insert from composite type is like this:

insert into foo select (f).*;

if f is type of foo.  The actual error you're getting is probably….”

I gave this a try.  Still bumping into syntax errors

CREATE TYPE oww_mart_tbls.type_log_site_process AS

   (proc_id integer,

    proc_name character varying(500),

    step_id integer,

    step_desc character varying(2000),

    step_starttime timestamp without time zone,

    step_endtime timestamp without time zone,

    step_returncode character varying(500),

    activity_count integer,

    status_flag character varying(1),

    status_desc character varying(2000));

ALTER TYPE oww_mart_tbls.type_log_site_process

  OWNER TO gpadmin;

Create function …

DECLARE

    -- standard variables

    vSpReturn_code text;

    Logsp oww_mart_tbls.type_log_site_process%ROWTYPE;

…..

insert into oww_mart_tbls.log_site_process(proc_id, proc_name, step_id, step_desc, step_starttime, step_endtime, step_returncode, activity_count, status_flag, status_desc)

 select (logsp).*;

works.

Thanks for the help.
