Re: [SQL] Function returns error (view)

[Bart Degryse]

I think you have a quoting problem
You want something like
  WHERE login= 'Flavo'
But you're making something like
  WHERE login = Flavo
 
Something like this should work...
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION seach_password(USER_FOO IN
table_user.login%TYPE)
RETURNS SETOF vw_change_password AS 
$BODY$
DECLARE 
r vw_change_password%ROWTYPE;
USER_FOO alias for $1;
BEGIN
  FOR r IN (
    SELECT u.cod_user, u.user_name, u.openpsw, t.user_password, t.end,
t.validate, t.date_add, t.user_time, u.ok
    FROM usuario u, change_user_password t
    WHERE u.cod_user = t.cod_user  AND t.cod_user IN (SELECT cod_user
FROM table_user WHERE login= USER_FOO))
  LOOP
    RETURN NEXT r;
  END LOOP;
  IF NOT FOUND THEN
    RAISE EXCEPTION 'USER not found (%)', USER_FOO;
  END IF;
  RETURN;
END
$BODY$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;

Hi

Don't know why I can't receive a return like my view fields (I'm newbie
in plpgsql). Postgresql returns me a erro . How can I received a answer
like my view structure?

When I Test my view I receive 

SELECT  seach_password('user_login_foo')

My view returns me

25746;"MARCELO
";"bio1";"bio1";"2008-02-19";"FALSE";"2008-02-12";"2008-02-12
12:51:40.229282";"TRUE"
30356;"JOSE DE JESUS
";"977";"377";"2008-02-19";"FALSE";"2008-02-12";"2008-02-12
12:52:19.688381";"TRUE"

It's OK

but when I use function it returns me

ERROR: column "user_login_foo" does not exist
SQL state: 42703
Context: PL/pgSQL function "search_password" line 14 at for over
execute statement

Where is my fault?

Thanks

Flávio
