ERROR: type " " does not exist
Good evening!
Why does PostgreSQL 9.5.4 print the error:
LOG: execute <unnamed>: SELECT out_uid AS uid, out_fcm AS fcm,
out_apns AS apns, out_sns AS sns, out_note AS note FROM
words_resign_game($1::int, $2::int)

ERROR: type " " does not exist at character 149
QUERY: SELECT

SQL statement

I have also tried appending ::text to _score1 and _score2, but the error
stayed same.
Below is my full custom function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION words_resign_game(

in_gid integer

out_uid integer, -- the player to be notified
out_fcm text,
out_apns text,

DECLARE

_score2 integer;
BEGIN
UPDATE words_games SET
finished = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
played1 = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
WHERE
gid = in_gid AND
player1 = in_uid AND
finished IS NULL
RETURNING
player2,
score1,
score2
INTO
_opponent,
_score1,
_score2;
IF NOT FOUND THEN

INSERT INTO words_moves (

in_gid,
in_uid,
CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);
SELECT
in_uid,

Hmph. Works for me, after reverse-engineering some tables and sample
data. Maybe your actual function text contains some non-breaking spaces,
or other weird stuff that didn't show up in your email? I find it a bit
fishy that it looks like there's two spaces after "resigned at the score"
in your function text, but only one in the error message.

Nothing shown would explain what you are seeing. Of course, white-space
issues are really hard to communicate via email.
As a brute-force suggestion I'd say you want to re-write the function one
statement at a time to confirm that, one, you are indeed calling the
correct function body, and, two figure out the exact statement that is
problematic. I'd do this via copy-paste until the problem statement
appears then I'd re-type in the problem statement by hand.
There are probably more efficient ways to do all this but given a lack of
experience and a relatively small function I'd spend more effort trying to
figure out a better way than just doing it brute force.

I reserve the right to fantasize. Whether or not you
wish to share my fantasy is entirely up to you.

What are you using to execute the above query and how are the parameters
being supplied to $1 and $2?

Good evening everyone,
I apologize for the delay in replying and that you had to "reverse
engineer" my question.
This turned out indeed to be a special char problem.
On MBA with macOS Sierra 10.12.5 I am using Postgres 9.5.4.1 of
postgresapp.com.
At the psql prompt I had copy-pasted:
words=> SELECT 1, 'You have resigned ' || 1 || ':' || 1;
ERROR: type " " does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT 1, 'You have resigned ' || 1 || ':' || 1;
^
After I removed the "white space" char before ':', everything worked.
In vi (after \e) I could see that special char by typing %!xxd
00000000: 5345 4c45 4354 2031 2c20 2759 6f75 2068 SELECT 1, 'You h
00000010: 6176 6520 7265 7369 676e 6564 2027 207c ave resigned ' |
00000020: 7c20 3120 7c7c c2a0 273a 2720 7c7c 2031 | 1 ||..':' || 1
00000030: 3b0a ;.
Thank you.
