Is it possible in PostgreSQL to write a function that would return a
record type.
What I need is something like this:
create function my_func(varchar)
return record as '
declare
my_rec record;
begin
select null as field1, null as field2
into my_rec;
.... some processing to populate the actual values of the record
return my_rec;
end;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
I get the following when I try to compile this:
NOTICE: ProcedureCreate: return type 'record' is only a shell
and following when I try to execute it (even though I am not sure how
to execute this at all);
ERROR: fmgr_info: function 0: cache lookup failed
Please help.
Thanks a lot in advance
Alla
