I have two identical functions below, the only difference is I
declared my variable name to be 'info' instead of 'stuff'. I could
not find anywhere in the docs that 'info' has any special meaning.
Did I miss it?
create type my_info as (a text,b text
);
-- this works
create or replace function my_stuff ()
returns my_info as $$
declarestuff my_info;
beginstuff.a := 'hi';stuff.b := 'there';return stuff;
end;
$$ language plpgsql;
create or replace function my_stuff ()
returns my_info as $$
declareinfo my_info;
begininfo.a := 'hi';info.b := 'there';return info;
end;
$$ language plpgsql;
Evaluating this definition gives:
psql:16: ERROR: syntax error at or near "info" at character 71
psql:16: LINE 4: info my_info;
psql:16: ^
