Message-ID: <52900.216.86.192.34.1043145602.squirrel@www.la-rubber.com> (raw)
I have a function that I want to return setof a table in plpgsql.
Here is what I have:
CREATE FUNCTION lookup_account(varchar(32)) RETURNS SETOF accounts AS '
DECLARE
aname ALIAS FOR $1;
rec RECORD;
BEGIN
select into rec * from accounts where accountname = aname;
return rec;
END;'
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
This seems to hang when I attempt to select it using:
select accountid(
lookup_account('some account')),
accountname(lookup_account('some account')),
type(lookup_account('some account')),
balance(lookup_account('some account'));
Does anyone see a problem w/ my approach??
