Hi Ray,
yes for sure. Here it is:
SELECT count(*) INTO existing_email FROM cust_portal.tmp_newsletterreg;
if (existing_email <>0) then
{
result = false;
}
else
{
result = true;
INSERT INTO cust_portal.tmp_newsletterreg VALUES
(
nextval( 'tmp_newsletterreg_nlreg_id_seq' ),
email,
session,
SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP;
)
}
end if;
RETURN(result);

Can you show us the full SQL statement?
You could also use CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - look at the following:
