Thanks! Thomas
Actually I am going to use many functions for different counts and a wrapper function to return all count in one shot. My function1 is going to be a part of all count functions. If I use it as sub query in all the functions, performance degrades drastically, as my query of finction1 is also heavy.
My wrapper function is going to look like:
Get_all_counts()
Select count1(result_set_of_finction1, int, int), count2(result_set_of_finction1, int, int), count3(result_set_of_finction1, int, int)…….

Is there a reason not to build it in as a sub-query?
E.g., if you have a function get_count( int ):

Hi,
I have a function that returns a set.
Looks like:
Select a_column from a_table where some_condition;
I want to use output of this function as an argument of another function
Second looks like:
Get_count(result_set_of_function_1, int)
Select count(b_column) from some_table where some_field_1 in ($1) and some_field_2 = $2;
Please suggest how can I do that?
