Re: Create function statement with insert statement

Unfortunately this did not solve the problem (I tried both upper and lower
case). It is a strange one. I end up with the following 3 errors:

ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "1"
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near ";"
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "orderinsert"

Regards
