Thread: Stored Procedures returning a RECORD

Stored Procedures returning a RECORD

From
"Kent Anderson"
Date:
I am attempting to use a stored procedure to pull a report from the database. My questions is if its even possible to pull the data using a function and then treat the returned data as a normal recordset with the web pages.
 
The actual function looks like
 
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION submissionreport(integer, date, text) RETURNS RECORD AS'
 
 DECLARE
 somekey ALIAS for $1;
 somedate ALIAS for $2;
 somesortorder ALIAS for $3;
 submission RECORD;
 BEGIN
SELECT INTO submission  (... stuff goes here)
ORDER BY sort;
 
    RETURN submission;
END;
' LANGUAGE plpgsql;
 
The error being returned is in the web pages"

SQLState: 08S01 Native Error Code: 1 Error while executing the query; ERROR: cannot display a value of type record"

Your return value has to be of a specific type
("record" is too generic).  Every table automatically
has a type created, which each of its rows conforms
to.  Or you could create a custom type, using "create
type".
