Real simple ... within a function, you need to use a
double-single-quote, '' , rather than a double-quote ".
PostgreSQL only uses double-quotes for "quoted identifiers", that is
database object names which are not allowed, such as "Table One" and
"1st_try". All other quoting purposes are fulfilled by single quotes
'.
