declare variable in udf

Hello,

How do I declare a variable after BEGIN?
I want to declare it in the if statement.

DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS tmp_test(integer);
CREATE FUNCTION tmp_test(
p_id integer
)
RETURNS text
AS $$
DECLARE the_return_value text;
BEGIN
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS temp_test_table;
CREATE TEMP TABLE temp_test_table(
some_value text
);
INSERT INTO temp_test_table
SELECT data FROM table WHERE id=p_id;
SELECT INTO the_return_value some_value FROM temp_test_table;

IF 1=1 THEN
                --how do I declare a variable here? it this possible?
RAISE NOTICE 'this is a notice';
END IF;

RETURN the_return_value;

END;
$$ language plpgsql


Best,
Peter

I don't think that is possible - you have to declare all your variables
in the DECLARE section.

So, multiple DECLARE sections are not allowed?

it  is not allowed in plpgsql

resp. DECLARE is related to block - if you use nested block, then you
can use nested DECLAREs

Actually, I just had a quick look here -

  http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/static/plpgsql-structure.html

- and it seems that you can have multiple declare - begin - end blocks.

Try it and see!

Ray.
