Re: Please help me to take a look of the erros in my functions. Thanks.

Hello

" IF stmt IN statements then " is nonsense.

use trapping exceptions instead

BEGIN
EXECUTE 'TRUNCATE TABLE ' || quote_ident(_tablename) || ' CASCADE';
EXCEPTION WHEN undefined_table THEN
RAISE EXCEPTION 'your own exception, when you like';
END;

Regards

Pavel
