Thread: PSQL Function() help....

Here is what I am trying to do.  I an trying to create a function that is passed two numbers,
get_people(2000,1).  The first value is a year, and the second is a week.  What I want the function to do, is to select
allthe names from a name table, and return a list of names that don't have an entry in the data table for the year, and
weekspecified.  Can this be done?? 

Thanks in Advance,
Dale.

No. Functions cannot return result sets. Certainly a deficiency, but
nobody is perfect.
