Re: Calling Procedure from another procedure in Postgres

Hi team,

I need to call the procedure(not function) and insert the records into a temporary table from another procedure  in postgres. When executing the procedure 'Sampleproc2',I got some below syntax error. Kindly let me know whether postgres supports this functionality or any other way  of calling the procedure from another procedure.

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SampleProc1()    

    as    $$

    declare

       c1 refcursor:='result1';     

    begin

     open c1 for

    select approverid,assigntoid,effstdt,effenddtfrom tblApproverreassign;

    end;

    $$

    language plpgsql;

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SampleProc2()    

    as $$

    declare c1 refcursor:='result1';     

    begin

                CREATE TEMP TABLE TMPApproverAssign

                  (  approverid  VARCHAR(10),

                     assigntoid   VARCHAR(10),                     

                     effstdt     timestamptz,

                     effenddt    timestamptz                   

                  ) ON COMMIT DROP;                  

                                  

                INSERT INTO TMPApproverAssign

                CALL SampleProc1();     

    open c1 for

    select approverid,assigntoid,effstdt,effenddtfrom TMPApproverAssign;

    end;

    $$

    language plpgsql;

 Error : syntax error at or near "CALL"

LINE 12 : ^CALL SampleProc1();
