How to return a select query - Mailing list pgsql-sql

Hello. I would like to know how can I return a select expresion, and stored in a variable, as cursors, but without the need of  fetching it, and just to get the hole resultset.

 

For example. I want to get this query: Select * from table1, and stored in a variable that I can return to, like a rowtype variable. 

 

What I want is to call this function from a client aplication and show the result in a table. Like a JTable in java.

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Greetings.
