Hi,

I have a the following procedure 

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getfunctionaries(p_statecd integer)
  RETURNS SETOF t_functionaries AS
$BODY$
DECLARE rec t_functionaries%ROWTYPE; 
begin
       FOR rec IN 
	SELECT f.functionaryid, f.category,f.description
	FROM functionaries f
     where f.statecd=p_statecd

	LOOP
        return next rec;
        END LOOP;
       return;
   end;
$BODY$
  LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;

In the functionaries table statecd is a null field. When I pass some integer
value to the above procedure it works correctly but if I pass null value in
p_statecd it doesn't show anything whereas it has values and if I write the
select statement separately it gives values

Thanks,
Jyoti

Either:

1. You're talking about frooble(), in which case it's supposed to do that.

or

2. You'll need to tell us what function it is, how you're using it and 
what you think should happen.

My guess is that you're getting a null as the result and that's not 
doing what you'd expect in your where clause.
