Jump to PostI think you're missing a return statement.
You could define a variable which you would assign a value to and then return it.

but the 'select 1' should do the return statement no?

To return a select result and use variable, you might need to create a function returning a set or you can assign the result of your select statement into a variable you would return in the code.
Take a look at the examples here:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/sql-createfunction.html
i tried to write plpgsql as language but he screams and tells me that he doesnt know this type of language.
i'm using razorSQL.
do u maybe know a good developer for ubuntu?
pgadmin is terrible and so is phppgadmin
What version of PostgreSQL do you use?
You can try to enable plpgsql with a command like this:
createlang -h hostname plpgsql dbnameplpgsql should be enabled by default in PostgreSQL 8.4 and newer, but it might be disabled by default in older versions.
I use pgAdmin, NetBeans, SquirrelSQL or SQL Workbench/J, depending on how much I'm fed up with the lack of autocomplete in pgAdmin. If I don't want to leave the IDE, I use NetBeans, otherwise I tend to use SquirrelSQL. I tend to use SQL Workbench/J if I need to pump some data and need no data transformations.
The paid version of DbVisualizer was very nice when I was trying it out the last time, but it's a bit too expensive for me. Maybe this Christmas...
thanks alot!
i will try what you said on Sunday when i'll return to work.
have a great weekend!
