Thread: how to convert "output deleted/inserted into" in My SQL to Postgres

hey guys, I'm kinda new to Postgres and I'm learning it now. I have work to
convert some stored procedures in MySQL to Postgres and I came across an
issue here that I can't solve:

update  db.user
             set Deleted        = 1
            , UpdateTerminal = @UpdateTerminal
             , UpdateUser     = @UpdateUser
             , UpdateDate     = @UpdateDate
        output deleted.CreditTypeID
             , deleted.CreditID
             , deleted.Amount
          into @ReconDeleted
         where Deleted = 0
           and ClientID = @ClientID;

I think it tried to update a couple of columns in table user and insert
values in other 3 columns into another table ReconDeleted at the same time.
I have issues converting "OUTPUT INTO" and "deleted" items, with my limited
knowledge about Postgres, I don't think we have those in pg. Can someone
tell me how to convert it? Thanks.

PS: it's my first time using this form, nice to meet you guys:)

Hi,

it seems that you are looking for UPDATE RETURNING:
