Hi,
We are trying to make use of module ODBC-link. We follow the
instructions as read in README.TXT, including the given examples.
Connecting to an external Oracle database is successful: = oratest=#
select odbclink.connect('ONT_KIS', 'sbm_beheer', 'password');
= connect
= ---------
= 1
= (1 row)
Then we try to select some data:
= oratest=# select odbclink.query(1, 'SELECT * FROM mytable') as
result(id int4, t text, d decimal); = ERROR: syntax error at or near
"(" = LINE 1: ...bclink.query(1, 'SELECT * FROM mytable') as
result(id int4, ...
= ^
For some reason "as result(" generates the error. ODBC-link README.TXT
reads: = All three forms of the function odbclink.query() returns
"SETOF RECORD", so = 1. it can return different query results = 2.
it must be properly casted to the expected result structure
The ODBC connection seems to work, when I select without using the "as
result"-part, I get another error message. = oratest=# select
odbclink.query(1, 'SELECT * FROM mytable'); = ERROR: function
returning record called in context that cannot accept type record
So it seems the functions returns data, but I do not know how to
display it. Since I do not understand how to handle SETOF RECORD I can
not solve the problem myself.
We're running PostgreSQL 8.4.3, ODBC-link 1.0.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
TIA,
Harrie Rodenbach
