Re: Function

I have a postgres function that returns a boolean, I want to use this
return in another function.
How do I do it?

Will the following code help me fetch it in a variable:
select lv_flag = drop_table_if_exists(''alarmconfig'',false);
drop_table_if_exists is the function which I want to call.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Sumita
