Hello
Shoaib,
I know
the SETOF funcitons. I want to simulate (somehow) producer/consumer
relationship with SETOF(pipelined) functions. The first
(producer )function generates records (just like your test_pipe function),
and the second function consumers the records , produced by the first
function. The second function can be rows/records producer for another consumer
functions e.g. it should looks like(or similar)
select
* from consumer_function( producer_function(param1, param2,
...));
What I
want to achieve is to impelement some ETL logic
in consumer_functions (they could be chained, of
course).
The
main idea is to read source DWH tables once (in producer_function,
for example), and to process the rowsets
in the
consumer functions. I want to avoid writing to intermediate tables
while performing ETL processing .
Is
this possible with SETOF functions
?
Best
Regards
Milen

For example you can do it like this in Oracle:
select * from PLSQL_FUNCTION;
You can achieve something similar in PostgreSQL using RETURN SETOF functions like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_pipe (int)
RETURNS SETOF RECORD AS
$$
DECLARE
v_rec RECORD;
BEGIN
FOR temp_rec IN (SELECT col FROM table where col > 10)
LOOP
RETURN NEXT v_rec;
END LOOP;
RETURN;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
This function can be called like this:
SELECT * FROM test_pipe(10) AS tbl (col int);
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

I am curios whether I can emulate the Oracle pipelined functions functionality in PG too (using RETURN NEXT ). For more
information and examples about Oracle pipelined functions see:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:8127757633768425921::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_CRITERIA:4447489221109
I have used pipeline functions in DWH enviromnent with success and would like
To use similar concept in PG too.
Any help, examples , links and shared experiences would be greately appreciated.
Best Regards.
