Hi

I want the result of select query to be returned from a function. Or
is there any way to return a table from a function?

Hi. I would like to query a database, given several where clauses to refine my search, and return the value of one single field in the database. eg: I have a table that lists teachers. Their first name, last name, age, unique teacher number, etc is in the file. I want to return the unique teacher number, for example, of the teacher whose first name is Jane and last name is Doe. How does one do this?

I have the following code segment - which compiles fine. I'm just worried I may get run time probs - because it looks like the functions are being overloaded by the return types?.

Hello all, Have a really interesting problem (at least to me) with my upload_file() function. I have it working now, with a bit of a work around, but would like to know what everyone thinks in regards to this being a bug or perhaps my ignorance.
