I have created a type Books
in Postgres which has 2 numeric
fields and 2 varchar
fields. I want to send an array of Books
to a function to INSERT
those values in a matching table.
This is my type:
CREATE TYPE Books AS (
V_Book_ID NUMERIC,
V_Row_Num NUMERIC,
V_Book_OWNER TEXT,
V_Book_OWNER_ID TEXT
);
This is my function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION Update_Table(row_book Books[]) RETURNS TEXT AS $$
DECLARE
Status TEXT;
I_Max integer := array_length(row_book, 1);
BEGIN
FOR I in 1..I_Max
LOOP
INSERT INTO books_table(Book_ID,
Row_Num,
Book_OWNER,
Book_OWNER_ID)
values
(row_book[I].V_Book_ID,
row_book[I].V_Row_Num,
row_book[I].V_Book_OWNER,
row_book[I].V_Book_OWNER_ID);
END LOOP;
STATUS:='Saved';
exception when others then
STATUS:='failure';
RETURN STATUS;
END;
$$ language plpgsql;
How do I send data to the function or how should I call the function with data?
