Re: [pgadmin-support] Help for Migration

I am using postgres 9.0.4 . I can actually use EXEC in psql which seem to be throwing some error in Craig's case. Also I am able to create procedure and execute them in pgadmin and psql. This piece of code was migrated from Oracle database (MS-SQL to Oracle then Oracle to Postgres). Nevertheless I am able to create independently a procedure also. Only In the ASP environmnet I am facing issue.

Below is the piece of code which I executed in Psql.

edb=# EXEC employeedetailinsert( '529','55','Mamatha','Chandrashekar','0
9','03','9677756894','mamatha_ka(at)dell(dot)com','12/10/2010','','7','Active','','Bang
alore','IG','206','Muralikrishna','TG-DBA','TPDB','TPDB','No','','');

EDB-SPL Procedure successfully completed

I don't think CREATE PROCEDURE is actually a valid command in Postgres. The 9.0 documentation seems to confirm that (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.0/static/sql-commands.html).

In Postgres, "procedures" are void-returning functions - there's no difference. It's just a naming convention.

Perhaps you're using some 3rd party code for MS-SQL compatibility? I imagine CREATE PROCEDURE would then be a simple wrapper around CREATE FUNCTION ... RETURNING void.

Heh, didn't know you could define DEFAULT argument values like that, but it seems you can!
