Re: Problem about executeUpdate and stored procedure that

Barry Lind,
 function:
    create function testfunc() returns void language sql as 'update table1 set col1=0';
 Test.java:
    ...
    CallableStatement stmt = null;
    try
    {
        stmt = conn.prepareCall("{call testfunc()}");
        stmt.executeUpdate();
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
        System.out.println(e.toString());
    }
    ...
 output:
    java.sql.SQLException: ERROR:  Unknown kind of return type specified for function testfunc

 I checked the jdbc code, and find this in AbstractJdbc1Statement::modifyJdbcCall(string):
    if (connection.haveMinimumServerVersion("7.3")) {
            l_sql = "select * from " + l_sql + " as " + RESULT_ALIAS + ";";
        } else {
            l_sql = "select " + l_sql + " as " + RESULT_ALIAS + ";";
        }
 I changed "7.3" to "7.4" here. And then the error became :    A result was returned when none was expected.
