Using results from DELETE ... RETURNING

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

When RETURNING from a DELETE statement (or similar), how do you access the
results being returned?

Something like:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (DELETE FROM a RETURNING *) ;

sounds reasonable but results in a syntax error. I am able to return single
results into a variable or record, but not more than one result.

I could use a SELECT ... FOR UPDATE in the meantime (and then a DELETE), I just wanted to know what the use of RETURNING * was if you can't do anything with the results.

Thanks!

Shak
