Hi allI'm trying to create a function that alters a sequenceThis what I'm
doingcreate or replace function updatesafe() returns integer AS
$$DECLAREmaxseq integer;alterseq varchar(256);thumb integer;newvalue
integer;BEGINnewvalue := 10010; maxseq := (select max(safeoperationid) from
safeopencloseoperation); if (maxseq < 500) then return 3000; else
execute 'ALTER sequence safeopencloseoperation_id_seq restart with ' ||
'newvalue ' ; return 10000; END IF;END;$$ language plpgsqlIt compiles ok but
when I call the functionit gives me this error ALTER sequence
safeopencloseoperation_id_seq restart with newvalueCONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function
"updatesafe" line 17 at execute statementLINE 1: ...equence
safeopencloseoperation_id_seq restart with newvalueHowever when I change the
alter sequence for thisALTER sequence safeopencloseoperation_id_seq restart
with 10000 ;The function is ok,It means that we can't use such a utility inside
a function? I mean replacing a value for a variable?Thanks for any suggestion
