Thread: Postgres 8.1 sequences and 'CALL'-syntax
Hello, I use postgres 8.1 and trie to run jboss over sequoia-ha (http://sequoia.continuent.org/HomePage). But i have an problemwith sequences. Sequoia claims to support for good reasons and db-independece only "sql-standard(s)". Therefore theyDON'T support the postgres-specific "select nextval('seq_name')". Instead they gave me the hint to use the sql-conform"call nexval('seq_name')". But unfortunately i always get only an syntax error on "call" from jdbc-driver or specially postgres as result. How can i use sequences in conjunction with "call"-syntax?? Thx in advance ______________________________________________________________ Sebastian Schnabl Qualitype AG Quality Assurance Systems |Bioinformatics Moritzburger Weg 67 | 01109 Dresden fon +49.351.8838 0 | fax +49.351.8838 2809 http://www.qualitype.de ______________________________________________________________

I'm not sure where they layer their stuff on, but the pg jdbc driver will support something like the following: Connection conn = ... CallableStatement cs = conn.prepareCall("{? = call nextval('seq_nm')}"); cs.registerOutParameter(1, Types.BIGINT); cs.execute(); long nextval = cs.getLong(1); cs.close(); Kris Jurka
