I am having problem there. see what happens

sqlstr := 'insert into test(c1, c2) values ('||COALESCE(rec.c1,'NULL')||','
        ||'\''||rec.c2||'\')';

WARNING:  Error occurred while executing PL/pgSQL function test_fn
WARNING:  line 8 at assignment
ERROR:  pg_atoi: error in "NULL": can't parse "NULL"

Dont forgot that c1 is int.

when i have like this
sqlstr := 'insert into test(c1, c2) values ('||COALESCE(rec.c1,NULL)||','
        ||'\''||rec.c2||'\')';

NOTICE:  <NULL>
WARNING:  Error occurred while executing PL/pgSQL function test_fn
WARNING:  line 11 at execute statement
ERROR:  cannot EXECUTE NULL query

That is the problem i am facing. Please shed some light.

Thanks
Kumar
