Can you try this...
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 IS NOT DISTINCT FROM p_statecd)
LOOP
return next rec;
END LOOP;
return;
END;
$BODY$
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;

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.
