Hi Sean,
for the return type, I put record and setup a record variable which is returned depending on the input. For the output of the query, all the fields I want in the query are shown means its just a matter of sorting out the composite type out. Most of them are varchars, although there are a few numeric and date fields also.

Explain analyze will return the time to complete the query, along with times
for sub-parts of the query. There is no "normal", as it depends on the
complexity of the query, as well as tuning, etc. But 570 ms is 1/2 of one
second, which is probably acceptible.

When you actually run the SQL (outside of the function), what is returned?
How does THAT compare to what you asked for?
