Hi!

I have the Problem, that a function returns a refcursor and I am not able to fetch them. I tried in several ways. 

Can you please tell me how to get the cursor data.

Thanks 
Chris

PS this is what I have:

create table foo(sirname text, name text);
insert into foo values ('Mueller', 'Marcus');

create function getfoo(char(1)) returns refcursor as
'
declare 
   ref refcursor;

begin
   open ref for select * from foo where sirname like ''%'' || $1 || ''%'';
   return ref;
end;   
'
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;

select * from getfoo('M');
* fetch all in '<unnamed portal 11>';

ERROR:  syntax error at or near "'<unnamed portal 11>'" at character 14

create table foo(sirname text, name text); insert into foo values
('Mueller', 'Marcus');

create function getfoo(char(1)) returns refcursor as '
declare
   ref refcursor;

begin
   open ref for select * from foo where sirname like ''%'' || $1 ||
''%'';
   return next ref;
return
end;  
'
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;

Sorry but this didn't help ...

Can not return next ... so I changed the returns as too but same effect as the first function:

drop table foo;
create table foo(sirname text, name text);
insert into foo values ('Mueller', 'Marcus');

drop function getfoo(char(1));
create or replace function getfoo(char(1)) returns setof refcursor as
'
declare 
   ref refcursor;

begin
   open ref for select * from foo where sirname like ''%'' || $1 || ''%'';
   return next ref;
end;   
'
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;

select * from getfoo('M');
-- fetch all in '<unnamed portal 14>';


ERROR:  syntax error at or near "'<unnamed portal 14>'" at character 15

I think you need double quotes not single quotes here.

The cursor name is an identifier so use double quotes instead of
single quotes.  Also, when using non-holdable cursors you'll need
to be in a transaction block.

begin;
select * from getfoo('M');
fetch all in "<unnamed portal 14>";
commit;
