Thread: escaping string in a function

Hi,

I'm trying to write a function that would the results of select 'foo'
. How do I
escape strings within a create function block?

Thanks,
Shuying

I think I should also add that I'm using PostgreSQL 7.3

It's not clear what you're trying to do -- could you explain a
little more?  Does the following example help?

CREATE FUNCTION func() RETURNS text AS '
  SELECT ''foo''::text
' LANGUAGE sql IMMUTABLE;
