What am I doing wrong ? I suspect that the main issue you are encountering is that "FROM v_row" is complaining that v_row is not a known relation. You really need to provide error messages or your observations in situations like this. A blanket "does not seem to work" is not enough when asking others to identify what you are doing wrong. A self-contained example is even better. If the above is true then this has nothing with row_to_json other than that is the function you choose to try and use. A simple "SELECT * FROM v_row" would get you the same error.
