Hi
this has been puzzling me for a few days now
I have created a function that I want to use in a database to select a
value from a table based on the value passed in.
The table is fairly simple
CREATE TABLE public.feeder_next_status
( status varchar NOT NULL, previous_status varchar, next_status varchar
) WITH OIDS;
The function is defined as
-- Function: public.spgetnextstatus(varchar)
-- DROP FUNCTION public.spgetnextstatus(varchar);
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.spgetnextstatus(varchar)
RETURNS varchar AS
'
select cast(next_status as varchar)
from feeder_next_status
where trim(status) = trim(\'$1\')
order by next_status;'
LANGUAGE 'sql' STABLE;
However when i run the query
select spgetnextstatus('NEW')
in pgadmin
the dataoutput shows two columns
the row column shows a row number of '1' and the column header
spgetnextstatus(varchar) shows blank
I have tested the equivalent sql in the pgadmin query and it works
fine.
Hoping someone can point me inthe right direction
