Hello CloverETL,

I can’t call a postgres function using DBEXECUTE component, it will complain that it get return value where it is not expected. However, my function doesn’t return anything, it has void as return type.

Thanks,  
Frank

Hi,

I figured out myself, basically, I need to check the Call as stored Procedure box. After that, it runs OK.

Thanks,  
Frank
