This should work: but it isn't! void returning functions may not be queried over the binary protocol (why?), so if you used dblink w/void returning functions, and dblink later supported binary results, your code would break (i'm sure such a thing would be optional, but the point stands). merlin -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
