Hi,
I need to call a function via dblink that returns a void, i.e.
technically nothing.
=# select public.dblink_exec('import', 'SELECT
import.add_one_word(''word'', true)');
ERROR: statement returning results not allowed
=# select * from public.dblink('import', 'SELECT
import.add_one_word(''word'', true)') as x();
ERROR: syntax error at or near ")"
LINE 1: ...ort', 'SELECT import.add_one_word(''iphon'', true)') as x();
=# select public.dblink('import', 'SELECT import.add_one_word(''word'',
true)') as x(x void);
ERROR: syntax error at or near "("
LINE 1: ...'SELECT import.add_one_word(''iphon'', true)') as x(x void);
And, although RETURNS VOID is indistinguishable from returning a NULL:
=# select * from public.dblink('import', 'SELECT
import.add_one_word(''word'', true)') as x(x int);
ERROR: invalid input syntax for integer: ""
So, how can I do it? Besides modifying the interface of the function,
say "RETURNS int4" and using PG_RETURN_NULL()?
Best regards,
