How to use WITH in a Postgres function?

How to write with as in the function? I want to write a recursive function to calculate the weight of a car. It gave me error like :
ERROR: syntax error at or near "WITH"



create or replace function aggregateWeight(p integer)
returns int as
$$
begin
if p in (select p.pid
from parts p) then
return (select p.weight
from parts p)
else
return
WITH RECURSIVE included_parts(pid, sid, quantity) AS (
SELECT ps.pid, ps.sid, ps.quantity
FROM partSubPart ps
UNION ALL
SELECT pr.pid, ps.sid, pr.quantity*ps.quantity
FROM included_parts pr, partSubPart ps
WHERE ps.pid = pr.sid
)
SELECT sum(pr.quantity*p.weight)
FROM included_parts pr, parts p
where pr.sid in (select p.pid from parts p)
GROUP BY pid;
end;
$$ language sql;

  • You can't use IF in a language sql function. You need language plpgsql for that.

Try to surround the query with parentheses.



You are also missing an END IF; after the ELSE.
