Then you don't need it. You may be mixing up SQL syntax and PL/pgSQL syntax. Just run the statement without the INTO, and it will return a result set, just like a SELECT would. By the way, you cannot have parameters with PQexec(). Use PQexecParams() for that. Yours, Laurenz Albe -- Cybertec | https://www.cybertec-postgresql.com
