refcursor is varchar - name of some object (cursor). when you open

Please explain to me then why my application works.
You are speaking to me entirely in abstract, where I have provided
you with
several concrete examples of functions that work when called from
the java
application. I also provided you evidence that using the terms in
your
documentation do not work. What am I doing wrong?
Again, I'm imploring you both: Use the data I provided to create a
test table.
Create the function I have created (test_proc and test_proc1) and
run it or
re-write it so that it works and please provide that back to me
along with the
syntax I should use to make it work.
Please, prove your documentation applies to my data because as it
stands from my
perspective your documentation is fairly poor in explaining how to
write and
call functions, considering they are a fairly common tool for
developers and
DBAs. Why can I not Google for postgreSQL function examples? I
submit it might
be for this reason: perhaps people stay away from them because they
have flaws,
either in how they have been communicated or in how they are
invoked....
I've worked extensively with SQL Server, IBM, Sybase and Oracle. I
know how to
write and test stored procedures.
I'm telling you that something is different between 8.1 and 9.0 and
all you are
offering are conceptual excerpts from your own documentation.
Please put it back to me using my data and you might get some
insight into what
could be tweaked with your documentation so that it can be more
intuitive and
functions used more often....
Vince - is there any chance that you were using a non-standard
PostgreSQL distribution or driver before? Like something from
EnterpriseDB? It may be that a third-party JDBC driver was doing some
behind-the-curtains work on your behalf.
