Re: Need some assistance on stored procedures execution using libpq in C

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for the info. But is it not possible to have some kind of handling of an empty result set using libpq for the given procedure?

Hi PostgreSQL Team,

I'm trying to execute the stored procedure(details along with the program in the attachment) to fetch the records from the table for the inputs given in the code as well. I have already created the procedure in the db. But I see some strange output when I try to fetch the details from the table using PQexecPrepared, even though there are no records for the given input. I see that this message nTuples(rows)=1 along with procedure successful execution. How to better handle this?

when it returned probably an empty result set. Please advise

PQ interface is designed for client server communication

you should to use SPI API
