Thread: Returning rows from functions

I was wondering if there was a way of returning a complete row from a
function, in reading the documentation of CREATE FUNCTION. I was under the
impression that you could return a row by using setof, but this does not
seem to be true.
Can anyone help?

The short answer is "yes, but..."; see the thread at:

for a recent discussion about this.
