Hello

this is near my implemenation of stored procedures - it's not far from
your view on prepared statements. There  result of any unbound select
is directly forwarded to client - there is little bit different
syntax, but idea is same


create procedure foo(params)
as $$
begin
  select a, b, c from tab1 -- unbound select
  select ....
end;

and you can call with CALL statement. Curent implementation of SRF
function in plpgsql sn't eficient for big results - it needs
materialised table in memory. Pipeline Oracle's functions are better,
but we are limited one thread architecture.

Yeah, this would be pretty the same.

I just didn't understand if this is already implemented in PG ?

I've tried to create a PROCEDURE in QueryTool of pgAdminIII and I get following result:

ERROR:  syntax error at or near "PROCEDURE"
LINE 1: CREATE PROCEDURE aatestubnd(refcursor, insklid integer, inda...
               ^

********** Error **********

ERROR: syntax error at or near "PROCEDURE"
SQL state: 42601
Character: 8


If I try with CREATE FUNCTION I get this result (as expected):

ERROR:  function result type must be specified

********** Error **********

ERROR: function result type must be specified
SQL state: 42P13


Is this because of QueryTool's limitations or is this feature not yet implemented in Postgre ?

Though, CREATE PROCEDURE should be a valid SQL 92 standard procedure.
