Subject: Returning result sets.
Date: Fri, 14 Feb 2003 09:44:09 +0800
Message-ID: <3B663B41B350D311AEEF00A0C9254563201A6E@VISION1> (raw)
How do I declare a stored function to return a result set. (ie set of
records)
I can define a function returning " setof record "
but I get an error:
A column definition list is required for functions returning RECORD
The docs(7.3) seem to think that this should be ok.
so what is wrong?
I have managed to get it to work by first declaring a type for the record
set:
CREATE TYPE sp_report_retail_sales_type AS (a int8, b int8, c numeric, d
numeric);
TIA,
