Thanks for your response. I looked the posts you reference, but, to be quite
frank, I didn't understand. I am confused regarding the sample code in the
documentation I am looking at. Here it is:
CREATE FUNCTION use_many_fields(tablename) RETURNS TEXT AS '
DECLARE
in_t ALIAS FOR $1;
BEGIN
RETURN in_t.f1 || in_t.f3 || in_t.f5 || in_t.f7;
END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
If this code is workable code, I would love to see an example of the code that
would call such a function so I can determine how to pass the parameter. I
think I did a poor job of expressing my ignorance ;o)
Thanks...

"A soul can never attain the knowledge of God unless God Himself in His
condescension takes hold of it and raises it up to Himself. For the
human intellect lacks the power to ascend and to participate in divine
illumination, unless God Himself draws it up -- in so far as this is
possible for the human intellect -- and illumines it with rays of divine
light."
