Hi Alban/Craig, Employeedetailinsert is procedure I have created in PostgreSQL. When I try to execute the procedure directly in Pgadmin as EXEC Employeedetailinsert (parameters same as below) It works fine with desired result. But When I call the procedure in Classic ASP I get the below error. I do not understand why the driver assumes it as function in the 1st place. I am using Postgres Native driver . In the call when I am using CALL as suggested below , I am still getting the same error as the driver seem to be parsing it eventually like it should for a function. Is it a bug in the driver that it cannot handle procedure from the ODBC connection?? Pls let me know. The entire error as I am getting is as follows. Pls note that database is not recognizing the object as it is looking for a function with that name. But here it is a procedure I am executing. -error start Executing Procedure =EXEC employeedetailinsert( ' 123','55','Mamatha','Chandrashekar','06','05','9886269427','mamatha_ka@xxxxxxxx','12/10/2010','','7','Active','','Bangalore','IG','906','Muralikrishna','TG-,'TPDBA01','TPDBA01- DBA Practice','No','','') PostgreSQL Native Provider error '80040e14' ERROR: function employeedetailinsert(unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown, unknown) does not exist LINE 1: SELECT * FROM employeedetailinsert(' 123','55','Mamat... ^ HINT: No function matches the given name and argument types.

PostgreSQL doesn't support 'EXEC' ... you probably want to SELECT myfunctionname(argument1, argument2); instead. If you're using ODBC, you should be using the ODBC procedure-call escape sequence to make it database-agnostic, eg: {? = CALL procname(?,?)} See: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms403294.aspx The ODBC driver for the database you're using should translate that into suitable call syntax for your database, eg in PostgreSQL it should produce SELECT procname(?,?); and capture the result. I was initially suspicious that the issue was the whitespace in the quoted number, but that's not it. You're simply sending a completely bogus query string, and that's the first point the parser happens to choke on. -- Craig Ringer -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
