Hi, I am moving from Sybase to pgsql but have problems with stored procedures. The typical procedure uses
a) named parameters, b) local variable declarations and assignments c) transactions d) cursors, views, etc. I can't seem to find these things in the Postgres function syntax. Procedures can be as long as 20-250 lines, performing heavy data manipulation tasks, running from a few seconds up to several hours. Database size is approx. 20GB. Functions in pgsql are very limited compared to Sybase procedures, so I'll have to find a workaround somehow. Perhaps somebody can point me to examples or hints regarding this issue. Thanks in advance! Andre ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
