Hi,
We use ecpg (embedded sql) and plpgsql (postgres functions).
I'm having trouble trying to get embedded SQL to read the result of a
plpgsql function which returns RECORD or SETOF RECORD.
Does anyone have an example of this ? I don't see it in the ecpg source
examples or in the ecpg manual.
/* following is an example of plpgsql to illustrate the data being returned
*/
/* type defined for the record that the function will return to avoid using
column list */
create type tp_GetPerson as ( person_name char(40), person_age smallint
);
/* this function returns zero or more tp_GetPerson records */
create function p_GetPersonByDept (pperson_dept integer) returns SETOF tp_GetPerson as
$$
declare v_record tp_GetPerson%ROWTYPE;
begin for v_record in select person_name, person_age from person where person_dept =
pperson_dept loop return next v_record; end loop; return;
end
$$
language 'plpgsql';
WHAT SHOULD THE ECPG PROGRAM LOOK LIKE THAT CAN READ THE DATA RETURNED ?
thanks,
RML
