Hi all, I need to to change an ip addres in a plpgsql function from aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd to an sring containing "aaa bbb ccc ddd upload".
The following code does not work. It complaines about the replace line (or is it the assignment?): ERROR: syntax error at or near "replace" at character 1 CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function "getcustomerdownload" line 14 at SQL statement) : CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getcustomerdownload(text, timestamp, timestamp) RETURNS int4 AS ' DECLARE my_ipaddress inet; my_ipaddress_as_text text; BEGIN select into my_ipaddress customertable.ipaddress from ( select customer.objectid, getcustomername(customer.objectid) as customername, customer.ipaddress from customer ) as customertable where customertable.customername like ''$1%''; my_ipaddress_as_text := host(my_ipaddress); replace(my_ipaddress_as_text ,''.'','' ''); return cast( (sum(bytes)/(1024*1024)) as int8) from logs where rule_name = my_ipaddress_as_text | '' upload'' and that_time between cast( abstime($2) as int4) and cast( abstime($3) as int4); END ' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE; Does anyone have any idea of how to do this?
