You could approximate it like this: select ..., (select row(x,y,z) from ...), ... from ...; as long as you don't mind pulling the composite-value output syntax apart. This avoids the single-output-column syntactic restriction by cramming all the values into one column. [ thinks for a bit... ] It seems like you ought to be able to get PG to pull the composite values apart again, with something like select ..., (x).*, ... from (select ..., (select row(x,y,z) from ...) as x, ... from ... offset 0) ss; but when I try this I get ERROR: record type has not been registered That's a bug, probably, but dunno how hard to fix. In the meantime you could work around it by casting the row() expression to a named composite type; which might be a good idea anyway since there's no other obvious way to control the column names that will be exposed by the (x).* expansion. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
