[Harvey, Allan AC]

Hi all,

Can sombody please help me realise a function, the intent as described by...

-- Function to create the table for a new point

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION make_table( varchar ) RETURNS VARCHAR AS '
    CREATE TABLE $1(
        parameter varchar(8) NOT NULL,
        value float NOT NULL,
        dt timestamp NOT NULL
        );

    CREATE INDEX $1_dtindex ON $1( dt );

    SELECT $1;
' LANGUAGE SQL;

I'm using 7.4.5.

Thanks

Allan
