Hello, Code blocks which return (almost) nothing aren't correctly handled by Babel.
When they really don't return anything, "error" displayed in the echo area; when they return the empty string, a backtrace is generated. * Examples #+PROPERTY: engine msosql #+PROPERTY: cmdline -S server -U user -P password -d database -n -w 234 #+PROPERTY: results output #+PROPERTY: exports both ** Block with no return #+begin_src sql :tangle no :eval yes ALTER TABLE tableindb ADD rol1 smalldatetime NULL #+end_src - does not add any "results" block - echoes "progn: Beginning of buffer" in the echo area ** Block with empty string returned #+begin_src sql :tangle no :eval yes ALTER TABLE tableindb ADD rol22 smalldatetime NULL PRINT '' #+end_src #+results: - adds the above "results" block - but generates an error: #+begin_example Debugger entered--Lisp error: (args-out-of-range 0 1) buffer-substring(1 0) (progn (insert (orgtbl-to-generic table params)) (goto-char (point-min)) (while (re-search-forward org-table-hline-regexp nil t) (org-table-align)) (buffer-substring 1 (buffer-size))) (unwind-protect (progn (insert (orgtbl-to-generic table params)) (goto-char (point-min)) (while (re-search-forward org-table-hline-regexp nil t) (org-table-align)) (buffer-substring 1 (buffer-size))) (and (buffer-name temp-buffer) (kill-buffer temp-buffer))) (save-current-buffer (set-buffer temp-buffer) (unwind-protect (progn (insert (orgtbl-to-generic table params)) (goto-char (point-min)) (while (re-search-forward org-table-hline-regexp nil t) (org-table-align)) (buffer-substring 1 (buffer-size))) (and (buffer-name temp-buffer) (kill-buffer temp-buffer)))) (with-current-buffer temp-buffer (unwind-protect (progn (insert (orgtbl-to-generic table params)) (goto-char (point-min)) (while (re-search-forward org-table-hline-regexp nil t) (org-table-align)) (buffer-substring 1 (buffer-size))) (and (buffer-name temp-buffer) (kill-buffer temp-buffer)))) (let ((temp-buffer (generate-new-buffer " *temp*"))) (with-current-buffer temp-buffer (unwind-protect (progn (insert (orgtbl-to-generic table params)) (goto-char (point-min)) (while (re-search-forward org-table-hline-regexp nil t) (org-table-align)) (buffer-substring 1 (buffer-size))) (and (buffer-name temp-buffer) (kill-buffer temp-buffer))))) (with-temp-buffer (insert (orgtbl-to-generic table params)) (goto-char (point-min)) (while (re-search-forward org-table-hline-regexp nil t) (org-table-align)) (buffer-substring 1 (buffer-size))) (let* ((params2 (list :remove-newlines t :tstart nil :tend nil :hline "|---" :sep " | " :lstart "| " :lend " |")) (params (org-combine-plists params2 params))) (with-temp-buffer (insert (orgtbl-to-generic table params)) (goto-char (point-min)) (while (re-search-forward org-table-hline-regexp nil t) (org-table-align)) (buffer-substring 1 (buffer-size)))) orgtbl-to-orgtbl((nil) (:fmt (lambda (cell) (format "%s" cell)))) (concat (orgtbl-to-orgtbl (if (or (eq (quote hline) (car result)) (and (listp (car result)) (listp (cdr (car result))))) result (list result)) (quote (:fmt (lambda (cell) (format "%s" cell))))) "\n") (insert (concat (orgtbl-to-orgtbl (if (or (eq (quote hline) (car result)) (and (listp (car result)) (listp (cdr ...)))) result (list result)) (quote (:fmt (lambda (cell) (format "%s" cell))))) "\n")) (cond ((null result)) ((member "list" result-params) (insert (org-babel-trim (org-list-to-generic (cons (quote unordered) (mapcar (lambda ... ...)
