Hi
I am having difficulty with returning clause and stored procedure. This is an (edited) example of where I am
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE public.arrcopy1(
dataarr anyarray,
tblname text,
cols text DEFAULT NULL::text,
selstr text DEFAULT NULL::text,
INOUT outarr text[] DEFAULT NULL
)
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'
AS $BODY$
EXECUTE INSERT INTO tagdata(fileid,tagname,tagvalue) SELECT arr[1]::integer,arr[2]::text,string_to_array(arr[3],E'\b') FROM
(select array_agg(v order by rn) arr
from unnest($1) with ordinality v(v,rn)
group by (rn - 1) / array_length($1::text[],2)
) a
JOIN tagfile ON fileid=arr[1]::int RETURNING *::text[];
Then called as
EXECUTE insstr INTO outarr USING (dataarr) ;
$BODY$
This compiles as a proc
But I then get an error (this is in perl)
DBD::Pg::db selectall_arrayref failed: ERROR: malformed array literal: "3182753"
DETAIL: Array value must start with "{" or dimension information
The procedure works perfectly without the INTO Clause on execute
thanks
