Thread: Calling Postgresql Function to delete user data
Hi ,
I have created this function to remove UserDataAccountid from both tables
UserAccountDetails and UserAC
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION DeleteUserData(ACDetailsID int[])
RETURNS void AS $$
DECLARE _id int;
BEGIN
-- postgresql has no table type, use a int array instead
FOR _id IN array_lower(ACDetailsID,1) .. array_upper(ACDetailsID,1)
LOOP
DELETE FROM UserAccountDetails WHERE UserDataAcountId= _id;
DELETE FROM UserAC WHERE UserDataAcountId= _id;
END;
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
RAISE WARNING 'some issue %', SQLERRM;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
RETURNS void AS $$
DECLARE _id int;
BEGIN
-- postgresql has no table type, use a int array instead
FOR _id IN array_lower(ACDetailsID,1) .. array_upper(ACDetailsID,1)
LOOP
DELETE FROM UserAccountDetails WHERE UserDataAcountId= _id;
DELETE FROM UserAC WHERE UserDataAcountId= _id;
END;
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
RAISE WARNING 'some issue %', SQLERRM;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

PostgreSQL can automatically cast from a string to an array if the string is properly formatted: select DeleteUserData('{5}'); Hope this helps.
