How to fix the ”query has no destination for result data” error?

  • 3

When I created using the Procedure ->Create Procedure in PGAdmin. However, an error ”query has no destination for result data” occurs while using EXEC to test it:

ERROR: query has no destination for result data
HINT: If you want to discard the results of a SELECT, use PERFORM instead.
CONTEXT: PL/pgSQL function master_todo(text,text) line 4 at SQL statement
SQL state: 42601

Here is my stored procedure:

-- PROCEDURE: public.master_todo(text, text)

-- DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS public.master_todo(text, text);

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE public.master_todo(
    "actiontype" text,
    "actionvalue" text)
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'
AS $BODY$
BEGIN
IF(actiontype = 'getAllTodo') THEN
  SELECT * FROM todo_list;

END IF;
END
$BODY$;

And I tried the following after reading some other responses on this:

IF(actiontype = 'getAllTodo') THEN
  SELECT * FROM todo_list;
  RETURN;
END IF;

and

IF(actiontype = 'getAllTodo') THEN
  RETURN SELECT * FROM todo_list;

END IF;

It isn’t work! The second one produced yet another problem, this time stating that a RETURN statement inside a stored procedure cannot have any parameters.

Can someone help me?

    The cause: I think the cause is that the select’s result cannot be returned because a procedure isn’t designed to do so.

    Solution: To solve the problem, you should use a set-returning function:

    CREATE OR REPLACE function public.master_todo("actiontype" text, "actionvalue" text)
      returns setof todo_list --<< this defines the structure of the result
      LANGUAGE plpgsql
    AS
    $BODY$
    BEGIN
      IF (actiontype = 'getAllTodo') THEN
        return query
    SELECT * FROM todo_list;
      END IF;
    
      -- what do you want to return if a different action type was passed?
      return query
        SELECT *
        FROM todo_list
        WHERE ????;
    END
    $BODY$;

    Then use it like a table:

    select *
    from master_todo('getAllTodo', '42');
