Thanks, that worked.

Is there any kind of documentation how to cope with that problem?

I try to explain my problem once more:

My servlets contain code like:
   rs = stmt.executeQuery("stored_procedure arg1, arg2");   while ( rs.next() )   do_something(rs.getString("col1"),
rs.getString("col2"),              rs.getString("col3"), rs.getString("col4") );
 

I have to decide:
 1) Can I use PostgreSQL for such querys?    a) If yes, could someone give any pointer to docs/examles/something else
b) If no, please tel me so. That would let switch to b) or c) 2) Backport the MS SQL server functions into plain SQL
textinside    my servlets just to get them working.  Not very clever, but should    work, hopefully. 3) Use another
databaseserver, could be Interbase but I would prefer    PostgreSQL.
 

Could somebody please help me to decide which strongle depends from the
SQL procedure problem.

Kind regards
         Andreas.
