Thread: Usage of function retruning record in query
Hi I have a stored function returning a record consisting of two field, and receiving as input a single identifier: CREATEFUNCTION calcvalues(IN itemid VACHAR, OUT calcval1 NUMERIC, OUT calcval2 NUMERIC) RETURNS record... Now, I want touse this function in a query as follows: SELECT itemid, calcvalues(itemid) FROM itemlist; which returns: itemid | calcvalues--------+------------- 4 | (0.67,10.00) 5 | (1.55,45.00) 6 | (3.60,69.00) Now, how should I go about to give thefollowing output: itemid | calcval1 | calcval2 --------+----------+---------- 4 | 0.67 | 10.00 5 | 1.55 | 45.00 6 | 3.60| 69.00 Any feedback will be appreciated. <br /><hr align="left" width="300" /> View this message in context: <a href="http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Usage-of-function-retruning-record-in-query-tp4549140p4549140.html">Usage offunction retruning record in query</a><br /> Sent from the <a href="http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/PostgreSQL-sql-f2142323.html">PostgreSQL- sql mailing list archive</a> at Nabble.com.<br/>

How about specifying different aliases to the resulting values? This will be handy when I use the same function multiple times in the same query. (the function will take another input parameters used in the calculations) E.g.: SELECT itemid, (calcvalues(itemid, '2011-06-06')).*, (calcvalues(itemid, '2011-06-07')).* FROM itemlist; itemid | calcval1 | calcval2 | calcval1 | calcval2 --------+----------+----------+----------+---------- 4 | 0.67 | 10.00 | 0.64 | 65.23 5 | 1.55 |45.00 | 1.23 | 23.25 6 | 3.60 | 69.00 | 2.98 | 62.66 How will I manage unique column names for this output? -- View this message in context: http://postgresql.1045698.n5.nabble.com/Usage-of-function-retruning-record-in-query-tp4549140p4550092.html Sent from the PostgreSQL - sql mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Sorry, I don't have a useful answer but I have a similar question. Along these same lines how does one access the discreet x,y components of type 'point'?

Never mind, turns out you can do it with the array subscript operator. I stumbled on to this by chance. I don't know if this is in the documentation somewhere and I perhaps missed it?
