Ошибка синтаксиса примерное положение integer

I am very new to postgres. I got this error when try to run the following script:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION xyz(text) RETURNS INTEGER AS
'DECLARE result int;
BEGIN
    SELECT count(*) into result from tbldealercommissions
    WHERE 
    txtdealercode = $1;

    if result < 1 then returns 1; 
    else returns 2 ;
    end if;
END;
    '
LANGUAGE sql VOLATILE;

The error is

ERROR:  syntax error at or near "int"
LINE 3: 'DECLARE result int;

not sure what cause this error. Any help is appreciated.

This is unsuitable:

LANGUAGE sql

use this instead:

LANGUAGE plpgsql

The syntax you are trying to use is not pure SQL language but the procedural PL/pgSQL language. In PostgreSQL you can install different languages and PL/pgSQL is only primus inter pares in that regard. This also means that you might get the error message, that this language is not installed. In that case use

CREATE LANGUAGE plpgsql;

which actives it. Depending on the version of PostgreSQL you might need superuser rights to do this step.

Have fun.

Not only are you using the wrong language (as noted by A.H.) but there is returns keyword, you want return. You might want to use a different delimiter to avoid running into problems with string literals in your functions, $$ is pretty common. I think your function should look more like this:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION xyz(text) RETURNS INTEGER AS $$
DECLARE result int;
BEGIN
    select count(*) into result
    from tbldealercommissions
    where txtdealercode = $1;

    if result < 1 then return 1; 
    else return 2;
    end if;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql VOLATILE;

Syntax errors are quite common while coding.

But, things go for a toss when it results in website errors.

PostgreSQL error 42601 also occurs due to syntax errors in the database queries.

At Bobcares, we often get requests from PostgreSQL users to fix errors as part of our Server Management Services.

Today, let’s check PostgreSQL error in detail and see how our Support Engineers fix it for the customers.

What causes error 42601 in PostgreSQL?

PostgreSQL is an advanced database engine. It is popular for its extensive features and ability to handle complex database situations.

Applications like Instagram, Facebook, Apple, etc rely on the PostgreSQL database.

But what causes error 42601?

PostgreSQL error codes consist of five characters. The first two characters denote the class of errors. And the remaining three characters indicate a specific condition within that class.

Here, 42 in 42601 represent the class “Syntax Error or Access Rule Violation“.

In short, this error mainly occurs due to the syntax errors in the queries executed. A typical error shows up as:

Here, the syntax error has occurred in position 119 near the value “parents” in the query.

How we fix the error?

Now let’s see how our PostgreSQL engineers resolve this error efficiently.

Recently, one of our customers contacted us with this error. He tried to execute the following code,

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION prc_tst_bulk(sql text)
RETURNS TABLE (name text, rowcount integer) AS
$$
BEGIN
WITH m_ty_person AS (return query execute sql)
select name, count(*) from m_ty_person where name like '%a%' group by name
union
select name, count(*) from m_ty_person where gender = 1 group by name;
END
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

But, this ended up in PostgreSQL error 42601. And he got the following error message,

ERROR: syntax error at or near "return"
LINE 5: WITH m_ty_person AS (return query execute sql)

Our PostgreSQL Engineers checked the issue and found out the syntax error. The statement in Line 5 was a mix of plain and dynamic SQL. In general, the PostgreSQL query should be either fully dynamic or plain. Therefore, we changed the code as,

RETURN QUERY EXECUTE '
WITH m_ty_person AS (' || sql || $x$)
SELECT name, count(*)::int FROM m_ty_person WHERE name LIKE '%a%' GROUP BY name
UNION
SELECT name, count(*)::int FROM m_ty_person WHERE gender = 1 GROUP BY name$x$;

This resolved the error 42601, and the code worked fine.

Conclusion

In short, PostgreSQL error 42601 occurs due to the syntax errors in the code. Today, in this write-up, we have discussed how our Support Engineers fixed this error for our customers.

Здравствуйте! Довольно распространенный вопрос, находил решения, но все же компилятор выводит ошибку. Как-то неправильно задаю первичный ключ.

SQL-запрос пишу в консоли postgresql. Таблица без записей.
Также в проекте имеется обычный конфигурационный файл для JPA. Думаю, что роли он здесь не играет

Пытаюсь создать табличку, вот такую

CREATE TABLE screens_items (
	screenitemid             bigint                                    NOT NULL,
	screenid                 bigint                                    NOT NULL,
	resourcetype             integer         DEFAULT '0'               NOT NULL,
	resourceid               bigint          DEFAULT '0'               NOT NULL,
	width                    integer         DEFAULT '320'             NOT NULL,
	height                   integer         DEFAULT '200'             NOT NULL,
	x                        integer         DEFAULT '0'               NOT NULL,
	y                        integer         DEFAULT '0'               NOT NULL,
	colspan                  integer         DEFAULT '0'               NOT NULL,
	rowspan                  integer         DEFAULT '0'               NOT NULL,
	elements                 integer         DEFAULT '25'              NOT NULL,
	valign                   integer         DEFAULT '0'               NOT NULL,
	halign                   integer         DEFAULT '0'               NOT NULL,
	style                    integer         DEFAULT '0'               NOT NULL,
	url                      varchar(255)    DEFAULT ''                NOT NULL,
	dynamic                  integer         DEFAULT '0'               NOT NULL,
	sort_triggers            integer         DEFAULT '0'               NOT NULL,
	application              varchar(255)    DEFAULT ''                NOT NULL,
	PRIMARY KEY (screenitemid)
);

Получаю
Error: ОШИБКА:  ошибка синтаксиса (примерное положение: "application")

psql --version
psql (PostgreSQL) 9.4.9 

Вроде слово «application» не зарезервировано?
