Hello, I would like to know how to recuperate the results of a request. I read the O'Reilly book about Postgresql and and know there are 2 ways in PL/pgSQL to do that : 1. declare variable type; select into variable column for table where... 2. declare variable table%ROWTYPE for variable in select * from table where... What I want to do is to make a multitable request and to recuperate each line of the result by stocking a number or text into variable eg with int; declare sum int := 0; for variable in select count(distinct sold), name from books natural join authors... loop sum = sum + sum; ... eg with text declare list text := '''': variable as text; for variable in select title from books natural join authors... loop if variable like ''The%'' list := list || variable.title || ''\n'' ...
