If so, what does your error checking code look like? In 8.0.0rc5 this command fails due to the missing keyword CURSOR before FOR. > res = PQexec( conn , "FETCH 1 FROM MY_CURSOR" ); > > => Error > FETCH failed: ERROR: no value found for parameter 1 Again, what does your error checking code look like? If I correct the syntax error in the DECLARE statement above then this query succeeds. > res = PQexecParams( conn , > "FETCH 1 FROM MY_CURSOR", > 1, > NULL, > paramValues, > NULL, > NULL, > 0); > > => Error: > FETCH failed: ERROR: bind message supplies 1 parameters, but prepared > statement "" requires 0 The error tells you what's wrong: you're supplying parameters that the SQL statement isn't looking for. Change the nParams value from 1 to 0 and pass NULL instead of paramValues, or use PQexec() instead of PQexecParams() since you're not passing any parameters. If you still have trouble then please post a minimal but complete program so we can see everything you're doing. -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
