Hey,

Thanks for the suggestion.  Unfortunately, it still doesn't work.
Here is what Postgresql is telling the client for two different
statements, one using a direct SELECT, the other using the get_movies
function:

SELECT movie_id, movie_name FROM movies;
=> returns a SETOF of (int4 NOT NULL, text NOT NULL)

SELECT movie_id, movie_name FROM get_movies ();
=> returns a SETOF of (int4 NULL, text NULL)


One note: I know this information because the client is using the
"describe" feature of Postgresql to retrieve the types returned
by a statement.

So, is this a bug or what?

Cheers,
C.S.
