Thread: ms-sql OUTPUT equivalent

ms-sql OUTPUT equivalent

From

Is there an equivelent to the OUTPUT parameter in MS-SQL?
here is an example:
----------------------------------------
CREATE PROCEDURE GetPagedList
(
 @CurrentPage   tinyint,
 @PageSize   tinyint,
 @TotalRecords   int OUTPUT,
)
AS
Set NoCount On
-- ...some code here...

-- Return the total number of records available as an output parameter
Select @TotalRecords = Count(*) From tblemp

GO
---------------------------------------
I am using the Npgsql data provider in a .net app, and have noticed you can set the Parameter direction to be output
eg "NpgsqlParameter.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output"
Is this just a case of npgsql getting ahead of pg?

Thanks
Clark

Not in the current release, but the upcoming 8.1 release will have it.
