Hi guys! I have the following queries, which will basically select data, insert it onto a new table and update a column on the original table.
CREATE or REPLACE FUNCTION migrate_data()
RETURNS integer;
declare
row record;
BEGIN
FOR row IN EXECUTE '
SELECT
id
FROM
tablea
WHERE
mig = true
'
LOOP
INSERT INTO tableb (id)
VALUES (row.id);
UPDATE tablea a SET migrated = yes WHERE a.id = row.id;
END LOOP;
RETURN numrows; -- I want it to return the number of processed rows
END
$$ language 'plpgsql';
When I call the function, it must execute 2000 rows and then stop. Then when calling it again, it must start from 2001 to 4000, and so on.
How can I do that? I couldn't find a solution for this..
Thanks!
Marcia
