What if I call another function I wrote myself that returns an INT, but I do not care about the INT? Maybe that function does the insert and returns the number of inserted rows.

I can think of all kinds of reasons this might be the case; whether they are good or bad approaches is immaterial: sometimes you work with what you have.

I am find with PERFORM to determine when a query's results should be discarded. I just think it needs to cover a few more cases.

Best,
