Hello,

I'm trying to build a PL/PGSQL function that will be called by a trigger
which will update a table named 'mview_contacts'. That table plays the
role of a materialized view.

The 'plpgsql' language is installed on that database (there are already
several functions inside) but I don't understand why I can't store that
function in the database.

When I cut/paste the code, psql seems to wait for something at the end:

levure(> ' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
levure'>

I've counted 178 ' quotes in that function, so I don't think that is a
missing quote.
There are 38 opening ( and 38 closing ).
All the IF are closed by a END IF.

Do you see what I've missed to get that function to be saved inside the
database ?

CREATE OR REPLACE function update_mview_contacts() RETURN OPAQUE AS '
BEGIN
IF TG_OP = ''INSERT'' THEN
-- Add the new contact into the materialized
view

IF TG_RELNAME = ''people'' THEN
EXECUTE ''INSERT INTO mview_contacts
(pk_fk_cnt_id,cnt_name,cnt_type,cnt_initial)'' ||
quote_literal('VALUES(NEW.pk_fk_cnt_id, (COALESCE(NEW.l_name,\'\') || \'
\' || COALESCE(NEW.f_name,\'\')),
\'people\',LOWER(SUBSTR((COALESCE(NEW.l_name,\'\') || \' \' ||
COALESCE(NEW.f_name,\'\')), 1, 1)))');
ELSIF TG_RELNAME = ''organizations'' THEN
EXECUTE ''INSERT INTO mview_contacts
(pk_fk_cnt_id,cnt_name,cnt_type,cnt_initial)'' ||
quote_literal('VALUES(NEW.pk_fk_cnt_id, NEW.org_name,
\'organization\',LOWER(SUBSTR(NEW.org_name, 1, 1)))');
ELSE
RAISE EXCEPTION ''The [%] table is
unsupported by this trigger function'', TG_RELNAME;
END IF;
ELSIF TG_OP = ''UPDATE'' THEN
-- Update the contact infos in the materialized
view

IF TG_RELNAME = ''people'' THEN
EXECUTE ''UPDATE mview_contacts SET ''
|| quote_ident('cnt_name') || '' = '' ||
quote_literal('(COALESCE(l_name,\'\') || \' \' ||
COALESCE(f_name,\'\'))') || '',''
|| quote_ident('cnt_type') || '' = '' ||
quote_literal('people') || '',''
|| quote_ident('cnt_initial') || '' = ''
|| quote_literal('LOWER(SUBSTR(NEW.org_name, 1, 1))')
|| '' WHERE mview_contacts.pk_fk_cnt_id
= '' || quote_literal(OLD.pk_fk_cnt_id);
ELSIF TG_RELNAME = ''organizations'' THEN
EXECUTE ''UPDATE mview_contacts SET ''
|| quote_ident('cnt_name') || '' = '' ||
quote_literal('NEW.org_name') || '',''
|| quote_ident('cnt_type') || '' = '' ||
quote_literal('organization') || '',''
|| quote_ident('cnt_initial') || '' = ''
|| quote_literal('LOWER(SUBSTR(NEW.org_name, 1, 1))')
|| '' WHERE mview_contacts.pk_fk_cnt_id
= '' || quote_literal(OLD.pk_fk_cnt_id);
ELSE
RAISE EXCEPTION ''The [%] table is
unsupported by this trigger function'', TG_RELNAME;
END IF;
ELSIF TG_OP = ''DELETE'' THEN
-- Remove the contact from the materialized view

IF TG_RELNAME = ''people'' THEN
EXECUTE ''DELETE mview_contacts WHERE
pk_fk_cnt_id = OLD.pk_fk_cnt_id'';
ELSIF TG_RELNAME = ''organizations'' THEN
EXECUTE ''DELETE mview_contacts WHERE
pk_fk_cnt_id = OLD.pk_fk_cnt_id'';
ELSE
RAISE EXCEPTION ''The [%] table is
unsupported by this trigger function'', TG_RELNAME;
END IF;
ELSE
-- Unknown trigger operation
-- ==> Raise an exception
RAISE EXCEPTION ''Unknown trigger function
operation [%]'', TG_OP;
END IF;
END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

Thanks you very much in advance for your help.
