Hi Hernando!

Don't know what's wrong, but I do know that Firebird 1.5 in some cases tried to put the stored procedure ahead of the table in some PLANs. This, of course, does not work when a field of the table is used as an input parameter. The general solution was to use a LEFT JOIN rather than a JOIN (your query use SQL-89, you should really change to SQL-92 which uses explicit rather than implicit JOIN):

SELECT a.my_id, a.some_date, a.a_name, c.my_result
FROM some_table a
LEFT JOIN test_proc(a.some_date) c on (1=1)
WHERE a.my_id < 10;

Another way to achieve the same thing is to use a subselect:

SELECT a.my_id, a.some_date, a.a_name,
(SELECT c.my_result FROM test_proc(a.some_date)) as my_result
FROM some_table a
WHERE a.my_id < 10;

HTH,
