Re: Need help returning record set from a dynamic sql query

Hi Sathish,

Thanks for your reply.

But I have created the type to return the record set from my join query
using a stored function.

I cannot able to create a table with that details .. Since those details
will be already available from different tables.

One more thing .. I am clear with your result set using FOR ..LOOP but mine
is not a normal query. it was built Dynamic based on my Input Parameters.

Please look and tell me if you are not clear with my query.

Thanks,

MuraliDharan V

Dear murali,

We use psql for our ERP software .We found CREATE TYPE is useful in creating
new data type similar to creating domain.
For eg
CREATE TYPE date_condition (
condition_id int,
from_date date,
to_date date);

Instead , you can CREATE TABLE (ORDERSID INTEGER,ORDERDATE
TIMESTAMP,COMPANYNAME TEXT,EVENTNAME CHARACTER VARYING);

You can have result returning a set of records

Feel free to comment on it

Hi,

Iam new to Postgresql, now i need to create a Dynamic SQL Query for
returning the record set
based on my Input Parameters. I looked up some of the documents and worked
out some more ...

MY Postgresql Version In Local: 7.4
MY Postgresql Version In Development: 8.2

-- DROP TYPE ORDERREPORT;
CREATE TYPE ORDERREPORT AS (ORDERSID INTEGER,ORDERDATE TIMESTAMP,COMPANYNAME
TEXT,EVENTNAME CHARACTER VARYING);

-- DROP FUNCTION FUN_ORDERREPORT(IN pmOrderId INTEGER,IN pmCompanyId
INTEGER,IN pmEventId INTEGER);
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION FUN_ORDERREPORT(IN pmOrderId INTEGER,IN
pmCompanyId INTEGER,IN pmEventId INTEGER) RETURNS SETOF ORDERREPORT AS
'
DECLARE
vResult ORDERREPORT%ROWTYPE;
vSql TEXT = ''
SELECT
ORDR.ORDERSID AS OrderID,
ORDR.INITIATED AS Order_Date,
COMP.COMPANYNAME AS Company_Name,
EVNT.EVENTNAME AS Event_Name
FROM
ORDERS ORDR
INNER JOIN COMPANY COMP ON COMP.COMPANYID = ORDR.COMPANY
INNER JOIN EVENT EVNT ON EVNT.COMPANY = COMP.COMPANYID
WHERE
ORDR.EVENT = EVNT.EVENTID '';
BEGIN
IF $1 IS NOT NULL THEN
vSql = vSql ||'' AND ORDR.ORDERSID = ''|| $1;
END IF;

IF $2 IS NOT NULL THEN
vSql = vSql ||'' AND COMP.COMPANYID = ''|| $2;
END IF;

IF $3 IS NOT NULL THEN
vSql = vSql ||'' AND EVNT.EVENTID = ''|| $3;
END IF;
EXECUTE vSql INTO vResult;
RETURN NEXT vResult;
END '
LANGUAGE 'PLPGSQL';

Result:

events=# SELECT * FROM FUN_ORDERREPORT(102881,NULL,NULL);
ordersid | orderdate | companyname | eventname
----------+----------------------------+-------------+-----------------
102881 | 2006-02-10 14:49:53.002653 | PhotoMania | Photos
(1 row)

events=# SELECT * FROM FUN_ORDERREPORT(NULL,NULL,NULL);
ordersid | orderdate | companyname | eventname
----------+----------------------------+-------------+-----------------
102881 | 2006-02-10 14:49:53.002653 | PhotoMania | Photos
(1 row)

Iam getting just the first record from the recordset.
Can someone help me how can i return all query results from a Dynamic SQL
Query?
