Re: Request for resolution || Support

Hi Thomas, David/Team,

Thanks you for your response. However we need your confirmation whether my Error/issue as mentioned below will be resolved if we upgrade our PostgreSQL Version.

<<My PostgreSQL version : "PostgreSQL 9.3.4 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-4), 64-bit">>

David response: Use a newer version

Tomas response: Yeah, you should use release 11 for a new project.  

My Issue while migrating procedure/function from Oracle to PostgreSQL:

Error-1) 

ERROR:  cannot begin/end transactions in PL/pgSQL
HINT:  Use a BEGIN block with an EXCEPTION clause instead.
CONTEXT:  PL/pgSQL function icmsuatnew.eload_commission_payout_active(text,text,text,text,text,text) line 486 at SQL statement
SQL state: 0A000

David Response on it : Rewrite your code as instructed

Error-2)

ERROR:  schema "utl_http" does not exist
LINE 38:     L_HTTP_REQUEST UTL_HTTP.REQ;
                            ^
SQL state: 3F000
Character: 1785

Thomas response: That's an Oracle thing for doing HTTP requests from PL/SQL.  To do that from plpgsql you could try an extension like this one:

https://github.com/pramsey/pgsql-http
Or you could write your own function in Python or <insert your
favourite PL>.  That's what I'd probably do.

Need your urgent help.

That's an Oracle thing for doing HTTP requests from PL/SQL.  To do
that from plpgsql you could try an extension like this one:

https://github.com/pramsey/pgsql-http

Or you could write your own function in Python or <insert your
favourite PL>.  That's what I'd probably do.

Google should help you find examples of people using plpython to
access the various Python HTTP modules.
