Thanks Thomas et al,
your advice and pointer have been of great help. to minimise my code change
I've decide to use the RETURNS TABLE option, but I now have the following
problem.
My procedure is as follows:
CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION myproc(var1 CHAR(9), var2 (CHAR4)) RETURNS TABLE
(result INTEGER, reply TEXT)) AS $$
DECLARE
replyx TEXT;
result INTEGER;
BEGIN
replyx := 'HELLO WORLD';
result := 150
RETURN QUERY SELECT result, replyx;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
I call it from ECPG (EMBEDDED SQL IN C) as follows:
EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION;
int iResult
char acReply[1000];
EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
EXEC SQL SELECT myproc ('abcdefghi', 'test') INTO :iResult, :acReply;
The error I get when I run the code is:
SQLSTATE: 42804
ERROR MESSAGE: invalid input syntax for type int: "(150,"HELLO
What am I doing wrong?
Many Thanks
Atif
