Hi,     I am using Postgres 8.1.0.  I have a requirement. I will create a function accepting few parameters.  This will check into various tables and give back an array of values.  I want to use the pgpsql block.  I know that we can create using language sql.      Is it possible to return an array from the function?  Please guide me.  Regardsskarthi

See the documentation for how to declare a function's return type,
how to return values from a function, and how to build and manipulate
arrays:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/sql-createfunction.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/plpgsql-overview.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/plpgsql-control-structures.html#PLPGSQL-STATEMENTS-RE...
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/arrays.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/interactive/functions-array.html

If you're having a specific problem then please post the code you're
running and describe how its behavior differs from what you expect.
