An alternative to Philippe's solution is to use ADO.
Here is an sample function :
(assuming ActiveX Data Object lib is checked in the Tools/References menu)
Function ADO_PG()
Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
Dim rst As ADODB.Recordset
Dim cmd As ADODB.Command
Dim strSQL As String
' Open connection
Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection
cnn.CursorLocation = adUseClient
cnn.ConnectionString = "DSN=<your ODBC DSN here>"
cnn.Open
' Display resultset (SELECT...)
Set rst = New ADODB.Recordset
strSQL = "SELECT * FROM a_function_returning_rows()"
rst.Open strSQL, cnn, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
While Not rst.EOF
Debug.Print rst("one column name here")
' Next record
rst.MoveNext
Wend
rst.Close
Set rst = Nothing
' Execute function (e.g.: INSERT, UPDATE...)
Set cmd = New ADODB.Command
cmd.ActiveConnection = cnn
cmd.CommandText = "another_pg_function()"
cmd.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
cmd.Execute
Set cmd = Nothing
' Close resources
cnn.Close
Set cnn = Nothing
End Function
Of course, parameters can be sent to stored procedures.
