psql execute stored function and store the result in the variable












2















I need to execute sql function and store the result



#!/bin/bash  
RESULT=`psql -A -t postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/db -c "select main.return_anything();" db`
echo $RESULT


And expect the result to contain 1.



But I get the result



psql: warning: extra command-line argument "select main.return_anything();" ignored
psql: warning: extra command-line argument "db" ignored


And it is just waiting for something and not produce any result. What is the problem?

From psql manual:



psql [option...] [dbname [username]]


So first options, then optionally dbname and then optionally username.



Try this:



RESULT=$(psql -A -t -c "select main.return_anything();" postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/db db)


Side note: backticks ` are deprecated. Use $(...) which look cleaner and allow for nesting.
