Hello,

I want to make a Function as table source. As rettype you have to give a
composite type but how do I make those? I'm using an new empty table with
the the datatypes (INT, INT8, TEXT and a TIMESTAMP) I need.

Is this the normal way how to make composite types?

Example:

CREATE TABLE bigint_int_text_timestamp (
    column_1 INT8,
    column_2 INT,
    column_3 TEXT,
    column_4 TIMESTAMP);


CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_reservations (int) RETURNS SETOF
bigint_int_text AS $$

SELECT     r.id,
                   p.id,
                   description,
                   last_time
FROM       reservations r,
                  persons p
WHERE    product_id =  $1

$$ LANGUAGE SQL;
