is it possible to have a function that can return a different type depending on the parameters? Eg (approximately) if param = "one" then return 1 if param = "two" then return "2" if param = "three" then return 3.0 etc I can't see any variant type thanks James -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
