Don't I know it. I am SOL as the machine is hosted/shared out by an external
provider. I can do it by getting rid of the polymorphism - breaking the
columns into separate args - as you say:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.test1_trg() RETURNS "trigger" AS
'
DECLARE some_rec public.atest1;
BEGIN
some_rec.id := NEW.id;
some_rec.descr := NEW.descr;
select into some_rec * from dd_test(some_rec.id, some_rec.descr, TG_RELNAME)
as (id int, descr text);
--some_rec := dd_test(some_rec)::public.atest1;
RETURN some_rec;
END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION public.dd_test(int, text, text) RETURNS record AS
'
DECLARE any_id alias for $1; any_descr alias for $2; tablename alias for $3; some_id integer; some_descr
text; some_row record;
BEGIN some_id := any_id; if some_id < 0 then raise notice ''id is < 0!''; some_descr := ''some other
value''; end if;
for some_row in execute ''select * from ''||tablename||'' where 1 = 0'' loop
end loop;
some_row.id := some_id;
some_row.descr := some_descr;
RETURN some_row;
END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;
Oh well, I'm glad I tested the approach out before going too far down this
road. Thanks again for your timely help.
