Hi,
    i doubt if this should 've gone to the novice group, but it's all sql


    i have a function that returns a setof rows from a table testtab :
____________________________________________________________________________________
   CREATE FUNCTION "public"."gettesttab" () RETURNS SETOF public.testtab AS'
        select * from TestTab;
    'LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE CALLED ON NULL INPUT SECURITY INVOKER;
____________________________________________________________________________________

"volatile" etc. was added by the EMS PostGreSql Manager.

i try to execute this function

but a call 
"select * from gettesttab();"
or
"select gettesttab();"
return the error

ERROR:  syntax error at or near "select"

the postmaster window also logs the erros:
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "select"
WARNING:  plpgsql: ERROR during compile of gettesttab near line 1

can simeone please help me out with this.  

thanks in advance
    
regards

You want LANGUAGE 'sql'

Cheers
