Hi All,
I'm trying to create a function that takes an interval (in seconds)
and
returns HH:MM:SS similar to reltime() but not dividing down to num#
days,months etc...
anyway, I've been looking into the CREATE FUNCTION routines and
here I
struck a stumbling block.
I tried(from the doco):
----------------------------------------------------------
CREATE FUNCTION concat_text (text, text) RETURNS text AS '
BEGIN
RETURN $1 || $2;
END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
----------------------------------------------------------
but I received this as the error:
----------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Unrecognized language specified in a CREATE FUNCTION:
'plpgsql'. Recognized languages are sql, C, internal and the
created
procedural languages.
----------------------------------------------------------
I'm running PostgreSQL 7.0.2 on FreeBSD-4.1. I'm new to postgres
(just
migrating from mysql).
What I'm wondering:
1. Am I missing something basic and fundamental here??
2. Am I looking at the right doco.. I recall on the list a
few
weeks
back there was a coment about the wrong doco being used...
Any help is appreciated..
