Thread: checking schema present or not by passing schema name as parameter

i am checking if schema present or not and passing schema name dynamically
but it's trowing an error :


CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION chkschema(schemaname text)
  RETURNS boolean AS
$BODY$
DECLARE
   i boolean;
BEGIN

    EXECUTE 'SELECT exists(select schema_name FROM information_schema.schemata
WHERE schema_name = '||quote_ident(schemaname)||')'
    INTO    i ;

IF i THEN

    return i;
else

    return i;
end if;

end;
$BODY$
  LANGUAGE plpgsql

ERROR:  column "secc_master" does not exist
LINE 1: ...M information_schema.schemata WHERE schema_name = secc_maste...
                                                             ^

why do you use EXEC there

do only

BEGIN
  IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM information_schema.schemata WHERE
schema_name = 'secc_master'_ THEN
   ...
  ELSE
   ...
  END IF;

you have to use quote_literal function there, not quote_ident.
