SA17 ERROR handling Spatial SRID in stored PROCEDURE

I'm getting an error reading spatial data using a stored procedure.

First create some data:

CREATE OR REPLACE TABLE "DBA"."TEST" (
    "ID" INTEGER,
    "FEATURE_GEOMETRY" ST_Geometry(SRID=3857) NULL,
    PRIMARY KEY ( "ID" ASC )
) IN "system";
INSERT INTO "DBA"."TEST" ("ID","FEATURE_GEOMETRY") VALUES(1,'Point (-79.3832 43.6682)');

Then try to retrieve it via a stored procedure:

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST()
BEGIN
    SELECT * FROM TEST;
END;
SELECT * FROM TEST();

This produces the error: Transform from SRID 3857 to 2147483647 not supported.

However, it works if I add the following RESULT clause to the procedure:

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST()
RESULT (ID INTEGER, FEATURE_GEOMETRY TEST.FEATURE_GEOMETRY%TYPE )
BEGIN
    SELECT * FROM TEST;
END;
SELECT * FROM TEST();

I would have expected the implied RESULT would use the data types from the base table.

I'm running SQL Anywhere is 17.0.0.1358.

FWIW, the same behaviour with 17.0.4.2053...

The difference seems to be due to the fact that without a result set clause, the ST_Geometry type seems to default to the default SRID.

You can check that with sa_describe_query:

select name, domain_name_with_size
from sa_describe_query('SELECT * FROM TEST()')
where column_number = 2

returns

FEATURE_GEOMETRY;ST_Geometry(SRID=2147483647)

for the procedure without RESULT CLAUSE and

FEATURE_GEOMETRY;ST_Geometry(SRID=3857)

for the one including that clause.

Yes, I'm aware that this is just an observation and no explanation...:)

Thanks Volker. That's what I figured was going on, but I hadn't thought of using sa_describe_query() to 'prove' it.
