Re: PostgreSQL equivalent to Oracles ANYDATASET - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hello,

 

we’re currently using Oracle and have a few functions in some packages, which are defined e.g. as follows:

 

   FUNCTION get_results(p_id_series series.id_series%TYPE)

      RETURN ANYDATASET

      PIPELINED USING t_series_get_results;

 

It can be called like:

 

SELECT * FROM TABLE(series_pkg.get_results(1));

 

The purpose of this function is to provide a DATASET, which has different columns in the result depending on the passed parameter.

 

Is there any way to achieve something similar in PostreSQL?

 

BR
