Hello,
When using functions that return the datatype 'record', rather than
doing this:
SELECT *
FROM fn_returning_setof_record( ... )
AS t (id integer, title text);
I'd like to do something like this:
CREATE TYPE my_type AS (id integer, title text);
SELECT *
FROM fn_returning_setof_record( ... )
AS t my_type;
or
SELECT *
FROM fn_returning_setof_record( ... )::my_type AS t;
Obviously the last two statements don't work, but you can see what I'm
getting at,
casting the 'record' datatype to a composite datatype.
I've not been able to find anything like this in the docs.
Is there currently any way of doing this? are there any plans for it?
Cheers
