Subject: Create functions using a function
Date: Mon, 1 Mar 2010 22:50:23 +0100
Message-ID: <5eca56861003011350pdc14fa5l2498c260bf68a90c@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi all,
is there a way to define functions and/or triggers in a function?

For example, can I create a function that takes an argument and defines a
function that has the name passed as argument to the first function?

Something like this .....

CREATE FUNCTION test (name varchar) RETURNS VOID AS $$
BEGIN
       CREATE FUNCTION name ( ) (here "name" should be expanded to the
variable content) RETURNS ....
        ...

END
$$

Is there a way to do this? Thanks
