I know zip about ECPG, but I'd think a more likely bet is EXEC SQL SELECT * INTO :record FROM get_foo(1); or EXEC SQL SELECT * FROM get_foo(1) INTO :record; depending on what your theology is about the placement of INTO. The point is that a function returning setof-record is a table source and should appear in FROM. regards, tom lane
