How to send a script to server and return one or more values from that execution ?
You´ll probably answer me that I could solve that with a function. But suppose those executions are dynamic, depends on businness rules or any other problem.
So, is that possible to change a DO structure is ran, to be possible to return one or more values ? It would be like ... DO returns(ID Integer, Description Text) as $$ begin select ... insert ... select ... into ID, Description end $$
Using this way would be possible to create that script on client, call it just one time and have a result for that execution, exactly the way a "execute block" does on Firebird.
Is that possible or there is a way to call just one time the server to return values without creating a function to each call ?
What do you think change how DO structure is ran to have results from ? Version 12, what do you think ?
Since you seems to be able to construct dynamically the statement from the client application, I think it is already possible to do that in one SQL statement using CTE.
For example:
Assuming we have the follwing schema:
create table t(c1 text, c2 text);
You can then do:
with stmt1 as ( select c1, c2 from t union all select 'value1', 'value2' ) , stmt2 as ( insert into t select s.c1, s.c2 from stmt1 s returning c1 ) select * from stmt2
;
So you can construct arbitrary complex thing using any combination of SELECT, UPDATE and DELETE.
