> I am running into a behavior with a postgresql function with a SETOF refcursor's returning multiple columns. Not sure if there is a different way to retrieve a SETOF refcursor's with variable columns? Alternatively can I return a primitive value and a refcursor from the same function. I tried specifying this as OUT parameters without any luck. In Oracle you can pass this in functions:

The example function works okay for me in psql. I think this is
actually a question about how to deal with such cases through the JDBC
driver, so I'd suggest asking on the pgsql-jdbc list. (Perhaps in a
less messy format this time, and could we ask for a useful Subject:
line too?)
