I'm writing a procedure and I want to check the number of rows updated.
But I can't figure out how. I know UPDATE returns "UPDATE #" but I
don't know how to use that to get what I need.
Here's an example:
CREATE FUNCTION "test" () RETURNS int AS ' DECLARE
v_number_of_rows int;
BEGIN update bigtable set email_confirmed = 1
where user_group = 1234;
-- and here, I want to know the number of rows updated
v_number_of_rows := *what?*;
END; ' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
Thanks.
