i want to execute the following query using execute, it works perfect with select but when i call it in trigger i get this error "ERROR: query has no destination for result data ". I 've tried perform but it doesn't work. The function in select insert rows in a table.
select insert_new_grade('title0', return3_6(0), return3_6(1), return3_6(2), s.code)
FROM "student" as s
where find_st(s.grade)>=5;
So i've thought of EXECUTE but i get syntax errors . Here is my try :
execute 'insert_new_grade('title0', return3_6(0), return3_6(1), return3_6(2), s.code)
FROM "student" as s
where find_st(s.grade)>=5';
Can someone tell me what im doing wrong ? Or is there any other idea to make the query work in the trigger function? Thanks in advance..
Here is the trigger :
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION insert_d()
RETURNS TRIGGER AS $$
BEGIN
select insert_new_grade('title0', return3_6(0), return3_6(1), return3_6(2), s.code)
FROM "student" as s
where find_st(s.grade)>=5;
return new;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
and here is the insert function :
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION insert_new_diploma(title0 character(100), prof0 character(11), prof1 character(11))
RETURNS VOID AS $$
BEGIN
INSERT INTO "d_table"(thes0, title, grade, prof, secProf)
VALUES (null, title0, null, prof0, prof1);
END
$$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
41.5.2. Executing a Command With No Result
Sometimes it is useful to evaluate an expression or SELECT query but discard the result, for example when calling a function that has side-effects but no useful result value. To do this in PL/pgSQL, use the PERFORM statement
emphasis mine.
inside function change select
to perform
