Re: Query with Parameters and Wildcards

Do you run this code in the function? If so, the following example function
with LANGUAGE SQL function:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION TEST(lastnameVARCHAR)
RETURNS SETOF lanemanager.customers
AS $$
SELECT customercellphone, customercity, customerdatecreated,
customerdatelastmodified, customeremail, customerfax, customerfirstname,
customerid, customerlastname, customermiddleinitial, customerphone,
customerreferredby, customerstateabbr, customerstreet1, customerstreet2,
customersuffix, customertitle, customerworkphone, customerworkphoneext,
customerzip FROM lanemanager.customers WHERE (customerlastname ILIKE $1 ||
'%')
$$
LANGUAGE SQL;

Please tell me is it work for you.

Regards
Hidayat
