sintax???

I have the following:

DECLARE ret integer;

INSERT INTO BitacoraConexion(username, IPmaquina,
nombremaquina, conexion)
VALUES ($1, $2, $3, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);

SELECT INTO ret
currval('bitacoraconex_idbitacoracon_seq');

RETURN ret;
END;'
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

and if I execute this file I get the following error:

psql:SPRegConex.sql:20: ERROR: parser: parse error at or near
"bitacoraconex_idbitacoracon_seq"

I asume it's due to a sintax error having to do with "currval", but I
can't find what the proper sintax would be for 'plpgsql' for getting the
last sequence value assigned (I even tried

I believe the problem is that you need to escape the single quotes,
otherwise it thinks you're ending the function text. Try
currval(''bitacoraconex_idbitacoracon_seq'');

Thanks, I just figured that out. Now I have another problem:

If I run select registrarconexion('mine', '201.201.201.1',''MYCPU); I
get a message

NOTICE: plpgsql: ERROR during compile of registrarconexion near line 1
"RROR: parse error at or near "

Any ideas?

Thanx.

No I was just wondering about taxes on sin... Syntax would maybe be more on
subject.

I am about to plunge into messing about with Macromedia Dreamweaver
Ultradev 4, Postresql, Lutris Enhydra and or Tomcat.

Someone wrote me with some advice but my mail server was eating mail and I
lost the message. Could we:

- whip up a howto
- get some recognition from folk at Macromedia by putting adequate
code/documentation on Dreamweaver Exchange.

I am willing to play the role of Candide (the newbie for those not brushed
up on french literature) and document my procedings.

I am in my office right now and your autoresponder message is currently

proccessed. In a short time 5,000 copies of the same should arrive in your
mailbox.

It looks like you also may have some dos style end of lines in whatever
you entered in. Did you cut and paste or copy a file from a windows
box?

That's why the " is over the E in ERROR because it's seeing the
CR character.

The overwriting of the initial "E" suggests that the thing is
trying to complain about a carriage return (\r). Probably you
saved your script from an editor that stores newlines in DOS
style (\r\n) rather than Unix style (\n). plpgsql doesn't think
that \r is whitespace. That's been changed for 7.1, but in the
meantime you need a less Microsofty editor.
