Re: PQexecParams and CURSOR

Hello,

Ok so here is the full TEST program I try to run:
(It's a cut/paste + modification of program from PostgreSQL doc)

Thanks for any further help.

Are you checking the result status of this command? If so, what
does your error checking code look like? In 8.0.0rc5 this command
fails due to the missing keyword CURSOR before FOR.

Again, what does your error checking code look like? If I correct
the syntax error in the DECLARE statement above then this query
succeeds.

The error tells you what's wrong: you're supplying parameters that
the SQL statement isn't looking for. Change the nParams value from
1 to 0 and pass NULL instead of paramValues, or use PQexec() instead
of PQexecParams() since you're not passing any parameters.

If you still have trouble then please post a minimal but complete
program so we can see everything you're doing.
