Hi
 
I come from a MS-SQL background and am trying to figure out what is wrong with the function below:
*****************************************************************************************
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION GetAccountInfo (p_AccID int)
RETURNS record
AS
$$
DECLARE
 r_Return record;
BEGIN
 SELECT a.Field1, a.Field2, a.Field4
 INTO r_Return
 FROM Account 
 WHERE a.AccID = p_AccID;
 
 RETURN r_Return;
END;
$$
language 'plpgsql';
*****************************************************************************************
When I run     select * from GetAccountInfo (100)    I get the following error message: ERROR:  a column definition list is required for functions returning "record"
 
please can someone explain to me how to create a column definition list.
 
 
Thanks
