Basically, in an (maybe-over)simplified example:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION add_transaction(transaction core_transaction)
RETURNS integer AS $$
DECLARE
transaction2 core_transaction;
BEGIN
transaction.field1 := 'lapse’;
transaction2.field2 := transaction.field2;
transaction2.field1 := 'lapse2’;
INSERT INTO core_transaction VALUES(transaction.*);
INSERT INTO core_transaction VALUES(transaction2.*);
RETURN 1;
END
$$
LANGUAGE plpgsql;
So, I wanted to do the same in plpython…
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION add_transaction(transaction core_transaction)
RETURNS integer AS $$
transaction['field1'] = ‘lapse’
transaction2 = { ‘field1’: ‘lapse2’, ‘field2’: transaction[‘field1’] }
# not this but something that would work without enumericating all
columns/fields
pl = plpy.execute('INSERT INTO core_transaction VALUES(transaction.*)’)
pl = plpy.execute('INSERT INTO core_transaction VALUES(transaction2.*)')
return 1
END
$$
