CREATE TABLE users (
-- make the "id" column a primary key; this also creates
-- a UNIQUE constraint and a b+-tree index on the column
id SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
name TEXT,
age INT4
);
INSERT INTO users (name, age) VALUES ('Mozart', 20);
INSERT INTO person(lastname, firstname)
VALUES (lastn, firstn)
RETURNING id INTO [new_variable];
注意这里有两个INTO子句。因此,PL/pgSQL函数的定义如下:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION new_client(lastn character varying, firstn character varying)
RETURNS integer AS
$BODY$
DECLARE
v_id integer;
BEGIN
-- Inserts the new person record and retrieves the last inserted id
INSERT INTO person(lastname, firstname)
VALUES (lastn, firstn)
RETURNING id INTO v_id;
-- Inserts the new client and references the inserted person
INSERT INTO client(id) VALUES (v_id);
-- Return the new id so we can use it in a select clause or return the new id into the user application
RETURN v_id;
END;
