Thread: Building Latest (8.1)
I'm trying to test a feature I see in the 8.1devel documentation. I figured I'd checkout a cvs working copy. Following the doc I: cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/cvsroot login but that just hangs and eventually times out. I looked at CVSup, but I found no binaries for CVSup at ftp.postgresql.org, and building CVSup seems to be a bit of a pain on Linux. I pulled a tarball from the "stable_snapshot" area of the ftp site, but that was just 8.0.3. What am I doing wrong? My main interest at this point is OUT parameters in PL/pgSQL. I read about this in the 8.1devel doc, so I thought I'd be able to test this feature in the "latest" source, wherever that is.
Will it be possible to use the out params to return more than one row? will the params act as a composite type so they can be used in a set returning function? Thanks, Tony

We were having some connectivity problems with that server last night,
I think. Does it work if you try now?

Does it work if you try now? Yes, it works. Thanks. I also had some firewall issues on my side.

See "RETURN NEXT" in the PL/pgSQL chapter of the development documentation: http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/plpgsql-control-structures.html#PLPGSQL-STATEMENTS-RETURNING See also the example I posted and Alvaro's comments in the following message from a few weeks ago: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2005-06/msg00389.php -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org/~mfuhr/
