Re: [pgadmin-support] Help for Migration

Hi Alban/Craig,

Employeedetailinsert is procedure I have created in PostgreSQL. When I try to execute the procedure directly in Pgadmin as

EXEC Employeedetailinsert (parameters same as below) It works fine with desired result.

But When I call the procedure in Classic ASP I get the below error. I do not understand why the driver assumes it as function in the 1st place. I am using Postgres Native driver .
In the call when I am using CALL as suggested below , I am still getting the same error as the driver seem to be parsing it eventually like it should for a function. Is it a bug in the driver that it cannot handle procedure from the ODBC connection??

Pls let me know.

The entire error as I am getting is as follows. Pls note that database is not recognizing the object as it is looking for a function with that name. But here it is a procedure I am executing.
-error start

You might need to add explicit type casts.

What database access driver/method are you using?

PostgreSQL doesn't support 'EXEC' ... you probably want to

SELECT myfunctionname(argument1, argument2);

instead. If you're using ODBC, you should be using the ODBC procedure-call escape sequence to make it database-agnostic, eg:

{? = CALL procname(?,?)}

See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms403294.aspx

The ODBC driver for the database you're using should translate that into suitable call syntax for your database, eg in PostgreSQL it should produce

SELECT procname(?,?);

and capture the result.

I was initially suspicious that the issue was the whitespace in the quoted number, but that's not it. You're simply sending a completely bogus query string, and that's the first point the parser happens to choke on.
