Hi everybody
I defined a function returning refcursor.
CREATE FUNCTION cursorname (refcursor, character varying, character
varying) RETURNS refcursor ...
which does a select with username and serachphrase.
If I call
BEGIN;
SELECT cursorname(`test`,`username`,`searchphrase`);
MOVE 10 in test;
FETCH 25 from test;
COMMIT;
inside psql everything works well. If I put this code into a
scriptfile and call it, I get the following errormessage:
cannot handle multiple result groups
Why? What does this mean?
I use a webserver which has 'one' persistent connection to the
database. Executing the script the connection breaks. Trying to do a
rollback the database returns that there is no transaction in
progress.
Any help is welcome
Regards
Conni

Sure seems like whatever database client you're using doesn't really
support transactions. Is is possible that each SQL command is being
issued seperatly to the backend in "unchained" mode? You might want
to provide the list with some details on the Postgres client you're
using and how you're using it. Then, someone with experience with
that client can make a specific suggestion.

I'm guessing that the client-side library thinks the above is a single
SQL statement, and so it's surprised when two result sets (the SELECT
and then the FETCH) come back. This is probably due to misuse of the
library API, but without any details it's hard to offer advice.

Hi Bill and Tom
Thank you for the hints. I think you pointed me in the right
