Re: DELETE...RETURNING problem with libpq

Hi Wolfe,

First, thanks for your help.

I tried your code, but it does not work... the function returns a string :
"0". When I check, this command properly modifies one row, as expected.

I don't know if it may help, but just in case... The DELETE operation is
not performed on a table : it is performed on a view. I have a rule on that
view that, instead of performing a delete on the corresponding table,
performs an update with table entry tagged as deleted (in a dedicated
column of the table). This code (sql part) works for years and, when
executing this command by other ways (php and pgadmin), it deletes and
returns expected data. With libpq, it deletes, but does not return anything.

Regards,
Brice
