Hi Ajithkumar Radhakrishnan,

You are almost done . Just add a select statement at the end of you
query:

Select spacedetails ;

and in the output add a variable of type text.

Give it a try it will do the work.

Hi Ajithkumar Radhakrishnan,

Looks like some issue with query, if you can paste that query rather
than taking screenshot. It helps us to provide you the solution.

Hi Ajithkumar.

What "exactly" are you trying to achieve?

Are you using the OutSystems database? Or is it an external source,

imported through Integration Studio?

Cheers.

Hi Ajithkumar,

Are you trying to run this code from within the SQL tool? You may find
this post an interesting read.

I'm not calling any stored procedure. I have written a sql snippet
it has an output and has to be returned.

Hello Ajithkumar,

You can execute multiple statements in SQL tool.

So, you can execute a SELECT after your statement in order to return
whatever you are creating.

Create an Entity, e.g. SpaceDetails

In your advanced SQL use an 'insert into { SpaceDetails} (att1, att2)

value (...,...)

The next block in your flow could be an aggregate that will select the
records from the Entity SpaceDetails

you might use dynamic sql when nessary

e.g.

varchar2 myInsertStatement = 'Insert into {SpaceDetails} (a,b,c) values

';

myInsertStatement += '('||spacedetails||','||r_spaces.nam||'-
'||r_spaces.free||');

execute immediate myInsertStatement;

And between the suggestions given to you to you to return the result
