Thanks for the replies. I was under the impression that the `{call ...}` syntax in JDBC only applied to stored procedures, so that's good to know regarding functions that return refcursors. However, as Example 6.2 on that page illustrates, one must use SELECT to invoke functions that return SETOF results.

In my use case, the function boils down to the invocation of an INSERT statement, so there is no result. And more generally, it seems to me that JDBC should support the batch SETOF-returning function use case. That is to say, JDBC probably shouldn't reject non-none results as it currently seems to be.

Or see  https://jdbc.postgresql.org/documentation/94/callproc.html

which is the latest doco.

Note that 1209 is the most recent driver.

HTH,
