Re: Seeking Clarification on Function Definitions in PostgreSQL Extensions

Hi David,
Thanks for clarification

But in the table also isn't the returned type predefined? Example:

CREATE FUNCTION fun1(integer)
RETURNS TABLE(
        col1 integer,
        col2 text
)
AS 'MODULE_PATHNAME', 'fun1'
LANGUAGE C;

We know the returned type will have two columns with type -  integer and text. Am I correct?

Sorry but didn't get this shape part?

Thanks
