Hi,
I'm really stuck with this one, so any help greatly appreciated....
If I create a table BBoxes with the definition:
create table BBoxes(
bbox box
);
that is suitably initialised with boxes, then issue the following sql
embedded in C:
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
char ret_bbox[500];
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
strcpy(query_string, "(1,1),(5,5)");
EXEC SQL DECLARE bbox_curs CURSOR FOR SELECT bbox FROM BBoxes;
exec sql whenever not found do break;
EXEC SQL OPEN bbox_overlaps_curs;
for(;;) {
EXEC SQL FETCH bbox_overlaps_curs into :ret_bbox;
}
I get the following problems:
1) ret_bbox always contains an empty string
2) the fetch operation's sqlca.sqlcode always is -211 (DATA_NOT_ARRAY)
I've also tried (in desperation) declaring the cursor as:
EXEC SQL DECLARE bbox_curs CURSOR FOR SELECT box(bbox) FROM BBoxes;
I've also (again in desperation) tried the following:
exec sql type POINT is struct { double x; double y; };
exec sql type BOX is struct { POINT high; POINT low; };
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
BOX ret_bbox;
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
with the same code, and still get the -211 error, and the fields of
ret_bbox, containing gibberish.
Any ideas about how to do this, or how to do this with ADTs in general
would be appreciated.
Many thanks,
--
Tony
