Thank you Rob,

question is it is the optimal way to run SP from VBA? 

Or not?

Hi Guys,

i have example function :

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION totalRecords ()

RETURNS integer AS $total$

declare

total integer;

BEGIN

   SELECT count(*) into total FROM COMPANY;

   RETURN total;

END;

$total$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

and i want to run it from VBA using odbc connection. 

What is the best way to use it ?

something like this: 

Dim dbCon as new ADODB.Connection
Dim rst as new ADODB.Recordset

Dbcon.connectionstring=”Your connection string goes here!”
Dbcon.open

Rst.open strsql

where strsql is "Select * from totalRecords" or this is not a good solution?

Best,

Jacek

You need the parentheses after the function name: “select * from totalrecords();"

Depends on the usage pattern.  I'm sure there is an ODBC construct for stored procedures/function, which you could build once and re-use with new parameter values if you're going to call this repeatedly.
