You'll have to consult the interface's documentation. For example, for C see the "libpq - C Library" chapter in the PostgreSQL documentation: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/libpq.html http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/libpq-notice-processing.html > = how to get number of affected rows by last sql > statement/operation (using GET DIAGNOSTICS statement)? For server-side PL/pgSQL programming see "Obtaining the Result Status" in the PL/pgSQL documentation: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/plpgsql-statements.html#PLPGSQL-STATEMENTS-DIAGNOSTICS For client-side C code, see "Retrieving Query Result Information" and "Retrieving Result Information for Other Commands" in the libpq documentation: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/libpq-exec.html#LIBPQ-EXEC-SELECT-INFO http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/libpq-exec.html#LIBPQ-EXEC-NONSELECT For other interfaces, see the relevant documentation. > = how to use PERFORM statement? See "Executing an Expression or Query With No Result" in the PL/pgSQL documentation: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/plpgsql-statements.html#PLPGSQL-STATEMENTS-PERFORM > = how to use EXECUTE statement? EXECUTE means different things depending on whether you're using PL/pgSQL or SQL. See the documentation for examples: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/plpgsql-statements.html#PLPGSQL-STATEMENTS-EXECUTING-DYN http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/sql-execute.html > = is it true that must state/write > <EXCEPTION_CONDITION_NAME> (e.g. division_by_zero , > error_in_assignment, etc) where we using EXCEPTION? > can we use custom logical error condition (e.g. > (my_Var = 0), (rec_count > 0), (gender = 'M'), > (sqlstate <> 0 --> error system variable), etc) See "Trapping Errors" in the PL/pgSQL documentation for the allowed usage: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/plpgsql-control-structures.html#PLPGSQL-ERROR-TRAPPING > = is there any virtual object that we can access to > examine new inserted or old deleted record in trigger > for statement (such as old and new in trigger for > row)? See "Trigger Procedures" in the PL/pgSQL documentation or the documentation for whatever server-side language you're using. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/plpgsql-trigger.html > = can we create disconnected cursor? > (e.g. > > declare > v_cursor1 refcursor; > v_cursor2 refcursor; > > ... > ... > open v_cursor1; > v_cursor2 := v_cursor1; > close v_cursor1; > fetch v_cursor2; See "Cursors" in the PL/pgSQL documentation for the allowed usage: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/plpgsql-cursors.html If the documentation doesn't answer your questions, then please post specific examples of what you're trying to do and describe the difficulties you're having. -- Michael Fuhr ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
