Hi team,I need to call the procedure(not function) and insert the records into a temporary table from another procedure in postgres. When executing the procedure 'Sampleproc2',I got some below syntax error. Kindly let me know whether postgres supports this functionality or any other way of calling the procedure from another procedure.CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SampleProc1()
as $$
declare
c1 refcursor:='result1';
begin
open c1 for
select approverid,assigntoid,effstdt,effenddtfrom tblApproverreassign;
end;

You need to make sampleproc1 a set returning _function_, then you can do:
INSERT INTO TMPApproverAssign
select *
from sampleproc1();
Procedures aren't meant to return stuff, that's what functions are for.
