'lo list,
I have a plpgsql SP where I loop through a cursor. I have an internal
variable that keeps the previous row, so that I can compare it with the
current row in the cursor.
Like so;
DECLARE
current table%ROWTYPE;
previous table%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
LOOP
FETCH tableCur INTO current;
-- Do stuff
But, in this loop I need to compare the previous row to the current one.
To do that I need to know whether a row was assigned to 'previous', or
there'll be very little to compare (if it doesn't throw an error).
How do I check for that?
I guess it would be like this, but I'd like to be sure.
IF previous IS NOT NULL
THEN
-- Compare previous and current column values
END IF
previous := current;
END LOOP;
END;
Thanks in advance,
