Hello ,

I am new with PostgreSQL and I have a bug. I have created a function that
has an input variable of type date , in case it does not receive value , it
has to assume by default the current date.

I have defined it as follows variable  DATE DEFAULT CURRENT_DATE, but I get
the following error.

 

El error 

ERROR: invalid input syntax for type date: "CURRENT_DATE" LINE 1:
...extsupplydate ('1085018'::bigint, '5278'::bigint, 'CURRENT_D... ^ ERROR:
invalid input syntax for type date: "CURRENT_DATE" SQL status: 22007
Characters: 78

 

Please could you help me, thank you very much.

Rossana

Rossana,

I have several tables with default values, including dates. Change your
input's values to `default' (without the quotes.)

Regards,

Rich

Rossana,

Also, I suggest you put the column names (not their data types) separate
from the values. Here's an example of a script I use (Slackware64 linux):

\d enforcement
                    Table "public.enforcement"
      Column     |  Type   | Collation | Nullable |   Default 
----------------+---------+-----------+----------+--------------
  company_nbr    | integer |           |          |
  action_date    | date    |           | not null | CURRENT_DATE
  penalty_amount | real    |           |          |
  reason         | text    |           |          |
  comment        | text    |           |          | 
Foreign-key constraints:
     "enforcement_company_nbr_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (company_nbr) REFERENCES companies(company_nbr) ON UPDATE CASCADE ON DELETE RESTRICT

insert into enforcement (company_nbr, action_date, penalty_amount, reason, comment) values (123, '2024-10-23', default, 'Did a wrong thing.', null);

HTH,

Rich

I think you just need to leave off the quotes, as current_date is a 
function:

   insert into .... values ( ... , current_date, ....);

Also, you don't need to quote the bigint values.

Ray.

Hi,

I am just thinking, when DEFAULT CURRENT_DATE is being used in table
definition then why the function is again being used in INSERT statement
why not use
default. Here is sample


edb=# create table date_test (id int, hiredate date default current_date);
CREATE TABLE
edb=# insert into date_test values (1, *default*);
INSERT 0 1
edb=# select * from date_test;
 id |      hiredate
----+--------------------
  1 | 24-OCT-24 00:00:00
(1 row)

Regards,
Ikram
