It means that the MySchema variable is NULL.

INTO is not implemented" Just remove "into v_retcode" from the sql string and specify it in the EXECUTE like this: sql := 'select * from public.elt_set_locking(...'; EXECUTE sql INTO v_retcode; Here you will find more info about EXECUTE in plpgsql. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/plpgsql-statements.html#PLPGSQL-STATEMENTS-EXECUTING-DYN -- Sergey Konoplev a database and software architect http://www.linkedin.com/in/grayhemp Jabber: gray...@gmail.com Skype: gray-hemp Phone: +79160686204 -- Sent via pgsql-sql mailing list (pgsql-sql@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-sql
