Hi everybody,

I'm a PG newbie, and I'm trying to write a function that returns a set of
records.
These records come from 2 or more tables (joined).

When I have only 1 table, the return type of the function can be SETOF
mytable.
When I have 2 tables or more, am I obliged to create a type (CREATE TYPE) so
that my function can return a SETOF mytype?

This works fine, but I'm trying to avoid building a specific type for each
row returning function.
Is there any other solution (SQL or PLPGSQL)?

TIA,
-- Hervé Inisan.
