Thread: Record type in sql

Record type in sql

From

Hello,
I have a little problem
I want to declare a type record for later use like that

create type record_structure1 as (id int2, nume text);
that is ok!

next in a function I want to use something like that:

select * from table as record_structure1 ?
instead of writing
select * from table as t1(id int2, nume text);
is this possible?

Thank You,
Adrian Din

Yo can do s.t. similar, if the order in which you select the columns
corresponds to the order your type is defined.
So you'd gonna use: select intcol, textcol from table;
