I wish to display the content of a cursor but haven't discovered the trick. Here's what I'm doing:

---------------------------------------------------------    The function


CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION tmp.sps(character varying, date)
 RETURNS refcursor AS
$BODY$
DECLARE
 ref refcursor;
BEGIN
   OPEN ref FOR select * from tmp.sps_measurement  where logdate < $2;
   RETURN  ref;
END;
$BODY$
 LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;

----------------------------------------------------------- psql script expected to display the contents of the cursor

BEGIN;

declare
ref cursor for select tmp.sps('=','2006-06-12') ;

FETCH all IN ref;
commit;

-----------------------------------------------------------     Output:

xxx z=#  \i sps_test.sql
BEGIN
DECLARE CURSOR
sps --------------------
<unnamed portal 9>
(1 row)


(I am expecting the rows in the tmp.sps_measurement table.) Can anyone help me out with this?

STEve
COMMIT
mdc_oz=#
