Hi,
It is possible to pass query result (or cursor?) as function
parameter? I need a function which emits zero or more rows per input
row (map function from map&reduce paradigm). Function returns record
(or array): (value1, value2, value3)
I've tried the following:
1) create or replace function test (r record) returns setof record as $$ ...
Doesn't work: PL/pgSQL functions cannot accept type record
From the docs you can try using the "refcursor" data type though I have never done so myself.
4) use function in "select" clause:
select my_map_func(col1, col2, col3, col4) from ... -- the rest of the query
In this case I wasn't able figure out how to access record members
returned by the function:
select ?, ?, ?, count(*) from (
select my_map_func(col1, col2, col3, col4) as map_func_result from ...
) as map
group by 1, 2, 3
The '?' should be something like map.map_func_result.value1 (both
map.value1 and map_func_result.value1 doesn't not work). If function
returns array then I can access value1 by using map_func_result[1]
Try " (map.map_func_result).value1 " - the parenthesis around the table alias and column are necessary.
