Re: what's going on...

You need to escape single quotes "'" in plpgsql functions. The
correct function should look like this:

CREATE FUNCTION analizuj_pomiary() RETURNS bool AS '
DECLARE pomiary RECORD;
BEGIN
FOR pomiary IN SELECT * FROM brewan_pomiar LOOP

IF substr(pomiary.datetime,1,10)=to_char(now(),''mm/dd/yyyy'')
THEN ^ ^
INSERT INTO TESTOWA | |
VALUES ( | |
analizuj_flow( | |
pomiary.ipRouter, | |
pomiary.source_ip, +-----+-----+
pomiary.dest_ip, |
pomiary.bytes, |
pomiary.datetime) |
); Look at US!!
END IF;

END LOOP;
RETURN true;
END; ' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
