Thread: Questions regarding stored procedures

Hello,
    I've gotten handed a MS SQL DB, and asked to port it to postgres. Most
of it has gone smooth, but the stored procedures are a real mess. The
original developer coded them up to use pass by reference variables,
rather than just return the results in a tuple. For the sake of not
having to change the application, I would like to try and do this in the
postgres version. Is this possible? THX.
