Hi community,
I would like to declare a function with IN and OUT parameters as well as a refcursor as return value.
For example something like this:
This doesn’t work. It gives the compilation error ‘ERROR: function result type must be integer because of OUT parameters’
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION reffunc2(IN key int, INOUT name int) RETURNS refcursor
AS $$
DECLARE
ref refcursor;
BEGIN
OPEN ref FOR SELECT col FROM test;
RETURN ref;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
This works …
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION reffunc2(IN key int) RETURNS refcursor
AS $$
DECLARE
ref refcursor;
BEGIN
OPEN ref FOR SELECT col FROM test;
RETURN ref;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
I’m wondering how I should declare such a function, or isn’t possible at all with postgres 8.1 ? With MS-Sql and Oracle such functions are no problem at all.
Thanks a lot for any reply in advance !
Cheers,
frank
