Hi ,
 
I'm porting MS- SQL stored procedure to postgres . I'm getting this error :
 
Error occurred while executing PL/pgSQL function sel_free_disk_space
 line 7 at SQL statement
SELECT query has no destination for result data.
If you want to discard the results, use PERFORM instead.
Here is the MS -SQL stored procedure :                                                
 
CREATE procedure sel_free_disk_space
   @computer_id      int,
   @letter           char(1)
as
   declare @free int
 
   select  @free  =  [free]
      from logical_drive
      where computer_id = @computer_id
         and letter = upper(@letter)
 
   if (@free is null)
      set @free = -1
 
   return @free
GO
 
 
Here is the equivalent function for Postgres :
 
CREATE FUNCTION sel_free_disk_space(int4,bpchar) RETURNS integer  AS '
DECLARE
  -- Declare variable to store the free space.
         free INTEGER;
        
 
BEGIN
   select free  from logical_drive where computer_id = $1  and letter = upper($2);
   IF free IS NULL  THEN
       RETURN -1;
    END IF;
   
  RETURN free;
END;
'LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
 
 
I'm not able to understand what I'm missing ?
 
Secondly is there any equivalent of exec for postgres ?
 
Any help will be highly appreciated.
 
Regards,
-Sugandha
