checking schema present or not by passing schema name as parameter

Hello

2013/6/6 anushasrivastava03 <anushasrivastava03@yahoo.co.in>:

i am checking if schema present or not and passing schema name dynamically
but it's trowing an error :

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION chkschema(schemaname text)
RETURNS boolean AS
$BODY$
DECLARE
i boolean;
BEGIN

EXECUTE 'SELECT exists(select schema_name FROM information_schema.schemata
WHERE schema_name = '||quote_ident(schemaname)||')'
INTO i ;

why do you use EXEC there

do only

BEGIN
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM information_schema.schemata WHERE
schema_name = 'secc_master'_ THEN
...
ELSE
...
END IF;

IF i THEN

return i;
else

return i;
end if;

end;
$BODY$
LANGUAGE plpgsql

ERROR: column "secc_master" does not exist
LINE 1: ...M information_schema.schemata WHERE schema_name = secc_maste...

you have to use quote_literal function there, not quote_ident.

Regards

Pavel
