Thread: returning results from plsql function to plpythonu function

returning results from plsql function to plpythonu function

Hello friends,
I am checking some logic which includes two functions. One is plsql function which returns text. Second function is plpythonu and contains one statement which outputs notice

e.g.
results = plpy.execute("select * from software.func1();")
plpy.notice("%s" % col for col in results[0])

The same result is returned as a final return as notice. But it does not outputs the correct result which is returned from func1 (text in this case). Rather it outputs notice as
NOTICE: <generator object <genexpr> at 0xb578cb6c>
It doesn't prints the correct notice even by using
plpy.notice("%s" %results)

What can be the problem here?
Thanks for help.

CP - You're missing a line in the middle; one which will extract specific content(s) from $results.

Because, yes, without such a line, python will only return the object reference.

when I modified the notice statement as
plpy.notice('%s' %results[0])

it prints notice as
NOTICE: {'func1': 'function return text'}

I didn't understand why it is showing 'func1' in the results[0] ?

# Assuming your query here returns col1, col2, etc.:
results = plpy.execute("select * from software.func1();")

# these lines will return the results ----------
# - (where the first member of the array is the 'row number' of the result:)

value1 = results[0][ "col1" ]
value2 = results[0][ "col2" ]

# --- Wanna see?

plpy.notice("-- value1: ",value1)
plpy.notice("-- value2: ",value2)

can you please give me the example

Nor am I!
Looks like your example, btw, is attempting string operations on something not yet quite a string!

Pythons are dangerous. Be careful!
