Subject: Create function statement with insert statement

Hello,

I am trying to create a database trigger which inserts into a second table.  I have created the following function in accordance with the reference manual documentation (7.2).  


CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION orderinsert(INTEGER, VARCHAR) RETURNS INTEGER AS '

INSERT INTO HEXORDERS ( CUSTOMER_ID, ORDER_KEY, DISTRIBUTOR_ID, ORDER_AMOUNT, ORDER_GST ) VALUES ( $1, $2, 1, 0, 0 ) ;

SELECT 1 ;

' LANGUAGE SQL ;



It fails with the cryptic error "parse error at or near ;".   Can anyone tell me what is wrong with this syntax?

Regards
