I'm new to postgresql, i have a procedure block this is working but i dont see any table or column, what this problem.
CREATE PROCEDURE list3(
)
LANGUAGE sql
AS $$
select * from stok
$$;
call list3()
Functions return values.
Example:
create table table_example(col1 varchar(100),col2 int);
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_table_example()
RETURNS TABLE (
l_col1 VARCHAR,
l_col2 INT
)
LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS $$
BEGIN
RETURN QUERY
SELECT *
FROM table_example;
END;
$$
select * from get_table_example();

I want to return the whole table with stored procedure not function
my code is:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE public.test()
RETURN TABLE (
id numeric
, test varchar
) AS -- Results -- remove this
$func$
BEGIN
RETURN QUERY
SELECT *
FROM public.test
END
$func$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
but its not works.
Stored procedures aren't meant to return anything, use a function. And you don't need PL/pgSQL for that either:
create or replace FUNCTION public.test()
returns TABLE (id numeric, test varchar)
AS
$func$
SELECT *
FROM public.test;
$func$
LANGUAGE sql;
As you return all columns of one table, you can also use returns setof
create or replace FUNCTION public.test()
returns setof public.test
AS
$func$
SELECT *
FROM public.test;
$func$
LANGUAGE sql;
Then use it like a table:
select *
from test();
I want to create a table view using a function that returns a temporary table...
For example, I have a function.
create or replace function colpivot(
out_table varchar
) returns void as $$
declare
in_table varchar;
begin
create table as select * from employees;
end;
Now I want to create a view using the temporary table (out_table) given by above function...
Is there a way to do this?
I would modify your query as follows
create or replace function colpivot(
out_table varchar ) returns void as $$
begin
select * from employees into out_table ;
execute 'CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW newView AS ' || out_table;
end;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
I'm using Postgresql and trying to have a select statement in a function to call out. At the moment the call gives me zero results
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION f_all_male_borrowers
(
OUT p_given_names varchar(60),
OUT p_family_name varchar(60),
OUT p_gender_code integer
)
RETURNS SETOF record as $body$
declare body text;
BEGIN
SELECT into p_given_names,p_family_name, p_gender_code
borrower.given_names, borrower.family_name, gender.gender_code
FROM BORROWER
INNER join gender on borrower.gender_code=gender.gender_code
WHERE borrower.gender_code = '1';
RETURN ;
END;
$body$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
Call to function:
select * from f_all_male_borrowers()
What is missing, or what am I doing wrong here?
Thank you
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION f_all_male_borrowers
(
OUT p_given_names varchar(60),
OUT p_family_name varchar(60),
OUT p_gender_code integer
)
RETURNS SETOF record as
$body$
SELECT into p_given_names,p_family_name, p_gender_code
borrower.given_names, borrower.family_name, gender.gender_code
FROM BORROWER
INNER join gender on borrower.gender_code=gender.gender_code
WHERE borrower.gender_code = '1';
$body$
LANGUAGE sql VOLATILE
COST 100
ROWS 1000;
ALTER FUNCTION f_all_male_borrowers()
OWNER TO postgres;
Try this and then call :
select * from f_all_male_borrowers();
Before doing that you need to check whether your query have result or not !!
After creating function then:
Got to Functions->Right click your function(ie,f_all_male_borrowers())-> Scripts->Select Script ->Then run it.
If it returns result then your procedure is correct.
I am trying to get the data from the Database use function of select prison();.but i got error .Please advise me.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION prison() RETURNS refcursor AS $$
DECLARE
ref refcursor;
BEGIN
OPEN ref FOR SELECT round,ben_sc,ben_st FROM prison_issue;
RETURN ref;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
and calling like this
select prison();
also i tried.but cannot executed the rows.
BEGIN;
SELECT prison();
-- Returns: <unnamed portal 2>
FETCH ALL IN "<unnamed portal 24>";
COMMIT;
There is no need for a PL/pgSQL function for this:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION prison()
RETURNS setof prison_issue
AS $$
SELECT * FROM prison_issue;
$$ LANGUAGE sql;
You also need to use:
select * from prison();
to retrieve the data, do not use select prison() (which only returns a single record, not multiple rows)
You didn't show us your definition of the table prison_issue if you don't want to return all columns you need something like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION prison()
RETURNS table (round integer, ben_sc text, ben_st text)
AS $$
SELECT SELECT round,ben_sc,ben_st FROM prison_issue;
$$ LANGUAGE sql;
You will need to adjust the part table (round integer, ben_sc text, ben_st text) to match the data type of the columns you select.
Below is an example code.I have assumed the data types.Replace with the real ones.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION prison() RETURNS TABLE(round numeric,ben_sc character varying,ben_st character varying) AS $$
BEGIN
RETURN QUERY SELECT p.round,p.ben_sc,p.ben_st FROM prison_issue p;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
I am trying to fetch data from remote db by using dblink through function but getting an error "query has no destination for result data". I am using plpgsql language to do the same.
Function:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fun()
RETURNS text AS
$$
begin
select dblink_connect(
'port=5432 dbname=test user=postgres password=****');
WITH a AS (
SELECT *
FROM dblink(
'SELECT slno,fname,mname,lname
FROM remote_tbl'
) AS t (slno int, fname text, mname text, lname text)
)
, b AS (
INSERT INTO temptab1
SELECT slno, name
FROM a
)
, c AS (
INSERT INTO temptab2
SELECT slno, name
FROM a
)
INSERT INTO temptab3
SELECT slno, name
FROM a;
select dblink_disconnect();
end;
$$
LANGUAGE plpgsql;
Calling Function:
select fun();
Error: query has no destination for result data
The stored procedure won't just return the result of the last SELECT. You need to actually return the value:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fun() RETURNS text AS $$
BEGIN
--- ....
RETURN(SELECT dblink_disconnect());
END
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
You're getting the error because Postgres expects the function to return something of type text, but your function doesn't return anything.
Use a plain SQL function instead of PL/PgSQL, or use SELECT INTO and ordinary RETURN.
Reason for the error you're getting is because there is no return in between your BEGIN and END for example:
BEGIN
update mytable set lastcodeused = to_char(cast(lastcodeused as INTEGER)+1, 'FM999999999999999999') where
classid = classIdVar and appid= appIdInt
RETURNING concat(pageUniqueCode,lastcodeused) as pageUniqueCode
into taskcode;
return taskcode;
END;
If you have this error using a pgplsql procedure or function, and you are sure that the return is defined correctly, there exists a different non-intuitive cause. I needed some time to realize this so I think it is worth sharing. I had a function like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "db".fn_x(
id integer)
RETURNS TABLE(b_val varchar(100), c_val varchar(100))
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'
AS $BODY$
DECLARE
var_b_val varchar(100);
var_c_val varchar(100);
BEGIN
select var_b, var_c
-- Missing INTO clause was the cause of the error.
var_b_val, var_c_val
from "db".table_y where y_id = id;
return query(select var_b_val, var_c_val);
END;
$BODY$;
Just adding that missing INTO clause made the function work correctly.
In conclusion, this error can also trigger on silent syntax errors.
