I know this can be > done in stored procedures in other RBDMS but can this be done in a function? you have a couple of approaches: *) declare refcursors inside the function and references them later in the transaction *) make temp tables *) arrays: create function two_sets(_foos out foo[], _bars out bar[]) returns record as $$ select array(select foo from foo), array(select bar from bar); $$ language sql; with s as (select * from two_sets()), foo as (select unnest(_foos) from s), bar as (select unnest(_bars) from s) select (select count(*) from foo) as no_foos, (select count(*) from bar) as no_bars; merlin -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
