Re: Java app and SPI functions

Hi Ntinos,

You don't need to use PL/Java - you can call the SPI functions
through standard SQL. I have C functions that return tuples and call
them with executeQuery(...).

The function in question is defined as

CREATE TYPE correlation_type AS
(
id INTEGER,
num_points INTEGER,
correlation FLOAT8
);

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
max_min_correlation(int,smallint,smallint,int,int)
RETURNS SETOF correlation_type
AS '$libdir/contrib/my_func.so','max_min_correlation'
LANGUAGE 'C' STABLE STRICT;

and then I call it with

ResultSet results = st
.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM
max_min_correlation("+var+")");

and work through the result set.

Good luck,

Adriaan
