My apologies, but it turns out that this solution doesn't work after
all. Postgresql still insists that movie_id and movie_name are NULL,
though I explicitly declared them as NOT NULL:
> CREATE TABLE get_movies_t
> (
> movie_id int4 NOT NULL,
> movie_name text NOT NULL
> );
>
> CREATE FUNCTION get_movies ()
> RETURNS SETOF get_movies_t
> LANGUAGE sql STABLE
> AS
> $$
> SELECT movie_id, movie_name FROM movies;
> $$;
This bug seems to obvious to have been generally missed. I have to
wonder if it is not a bug in my particular build of Postgresql -- I am
running version 8.2.4 straight from the Ubuntu repositories (package
version 8.2.4-1~edgy1).
Could someone else try the code and check if Postgresql returns
the correct type?
Thanks,
C.S.
