Oh, sorry for the reply-to-self, but I know I can write an SQL function with an OUT parameter list to do this. Like creating a custom rowtype for the job, though, this gets cumbersome if the column-list is long, or changes to the input tables might ever result in a change to column-list types, add columns, etc. Being able to write: CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION blah(IN DATE, OUT a.*, OUT b.*) AS $$ SELECT * FROM a, b; $$ LANGUAGE 'sql' ... would be somewhat helpful as another form of the ability to expand rowtypes for use in declarations, but having to list all the OUT parameters explicitly as I currently do is no better than using CREATE TYPE to make a custom rowtype or listing all the colums at call-sites for a RECORD returning function. -- Craig Ringer Tech-related writing: http://soapyfrogs.blogspot.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
