The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/13/ecpg-variables.html Description:
Without this line: EXEC SQL WHENEVER NOT FOUND CONTINUE; after the while(1), I find that ECPG CURSOR examples fail. For example, this example under 36.4.4.3.2. Structures fails: EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION; typedef struct { int oid; char datname[65]; long long int size; } dbinfo_t; dbinfo_t dbval; EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION; memset(&dbval, 0, sizeof(dbinfo_t)); EXEC SQL DECLARE cur1 CURSOR FOR SELECT oid, datname, pg_database_size(oid) AS size FROM pg_database; EXEC SQL OPEN cur1; /* when end of result set reached, break out of while loop */ EXEC SQL WHENEVER NOT FOUND DO BREAK; while (1) { /* Fetch multiple columns into one structure. */ EXEC SQL FETCH FROM cur1 INTO :dbval; /* Print members of the structure. */ printf("oid=%d, datname=%s, size=%lld\n", dbval.oid, dbval.datname, dbval.size); } EXEC SQL CLOSE cur1;
