1. DBeaver and PostgreSQL for Visual Studio Code belong to 'Database Tools' category of the tech stack. DBeaver and PostgreSQL for Visual Studio Code are both open source tools. DBeaver with 9.88K GitHub stars and 835 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than PostgreSQL for Visual Studio Code with 182 GitHub stars and 9 GitHub forks.
2. I refer this to enable the debugger in the PostgreSQL server in order to debugging the plpgsql function by stepping through the codes using the pgadmin. I have already set sharedpreloadlibraries = '$libdir/plugins/plugindebugger.dll' in the postgresql.conf, run pldbgapi.sql, and restarted the server.
3. Posted on 2019-03-10 by Serge. DBeaver 6.0 is our new major release. Changes since 5.0: Added support for different cloud databases in AWS and Azure, Significantly improved support for PostgreSQL and SQL Server. Increased number supported drivers to more than 70.

Summary: in this tutorial, you will learn how to use the PostgreSQL CREATE FUNCTION statement to develop user-defined functions.

Dbeaver Debug Postgresql Function Examples

Introduction to Create Function statement

The create function statement allows you to define a new user-defined function.

The following illustrates the syntax of the create function statement:

In this syntax:

• First, specify the name of the function after the create function keywords. If you want to replace the existing function, you can use the or replace keywords.
• Then, specify the function parameter list surrounded by parentheses after the function name. A function can have zero or many parameters.
• Next, specify the datatype of the returned value after the returns keyword.
• After that, use the language plpgsql to specify the procedural language of the function. Note that PostgreSQL supports many procedural languages, not just plpgsql.
• Finally, place a block in the dollar-quoted string constant.

PostgreSQL Create Function statement examples

We’ll use the film table from the dvdrental sample database.

The following statement creates a function that counts the films whose length between the len_from and len_to parameters:

The function get_film_count has two main sections: header and body.

In the header section:

• First, the name of the function is get_film_count that follows the create function keywords.
• Second, the get_film_count() function accepts two parameters len_from and len_to with the integer datatype.
• Third, the get_film_count function returns an integer specified by the returns int clause.
• Finally, the language of the function is plpgsql indicated by the language plpgsql.

In the function body:

• Use the dollar-quoted string constant syntax that starts with $$ and ends with $$. Between these $$, you can place a block that contains the declaration and logic of the function.
• In the declaration section, declare a variable called film_count that stores the number of films selected from the film table.
• In the body of the block, use the select into statement to select the number of films whose length are between len_from and len_to and assign the result to the film_count variable. At the end of the block, use the return statement to return the film_count.

To execute the create function statement, you can use any PostgreSQL client tool including psql and pgAdmin

1) Creating a function using pgAdmin

First, launch the pgAdmin tool and connect to the dvdrental sample database.

Second, open the query tool by selecting Tools > Query Tool.

Third, enter the above code int the query tool and click the Execute button to create the get_film_count function.

If everything is fine, you will see the following message:

It means that the function get_film_count is created successfully.

Finnally, you can find the function get_film_count in the Functions list:

In case you could not find the function name, you can right-click the Functions node and select Refresh… menu item to refresh the function list.

2) Creating a function using psql

First, launch the psql interactive tool and connect to the dvdrental database.

Second, enter the above code in the psql to create the function like this:

You will see the following message if the function is created successfully:

Third, use the df command to list all user-defined in the current database:

Calling a user-defined function

PostgreSQL provides you with three ways to call a user-defined function:

• Using positional notation
• Using named notation
• Using the mixed notation.

1) Using positional notation

To call a function using the positional notation, you need to specify the arguments in the same order as parameters. For example:

Output:

In this example, the arguments of the get_film_count() are 40 and 90 that corresponding to the from_len and to_len parameters.

You call a function using the positional notation when the function has few parameters.

If the function has many parameters, you should call it using the named notation since it will make the function call more obvious.

2) Using named notation

The following shows how to call the get_film_count function using the positional notation:

Output:

In the named notation, you use the => to separate the argument’s name and its value.

For backward compatibility, PostgreSQL supports the older syntax based on := as follows:

3) Using mixed notation

The mixed notation is the combination of positional and named notations. For example:

Note that you cannot use the named arguments before positional arguments like this:
