Stored functions with result set
With PostgreSQL, you can execute stored procedures returning a
result set. To do so, you must declare a cursor and fetch
the rows:
MAIN
DEFINE i, n INTEGER
DEFINE d DECIMAL(6,2)
DEFINE c VARCHAR(200)
DATABASE test1
CREATE TABLE tab1 ( c1 INTEGER, c2 DECIMAL(6,2), c3 VARCHAR(200) )
INSERT INTO tab1 VALUES ( 1, 123.45, 'aaaaaa' )
INSERT INTO tab1 VALUES ( 2, 123.66, 'bbbbbbbbb' )
INSERT INTO tab1 VALUES ( 3, 444.77, 'cccccc' )
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE "create function proc2(integer)"
|| " returns setof tab1"
|| " as $$"
|| " select * from tab1 where c1 > $1;"
|| " $$ language sql"
DECLARE curs CURSOR FROM "select * from proc2(?)"
LET i = 1
FOREACH curs USING i INTO n, d, c
DISPLAY n, d, c
END FOREACH
END MAIN
