Hi Hervé,
You should perhaps use record instead of a particular type.

Hi everybody,
I'm a PG newbie, and I'm trying to write a function that returns a set of records. These records come from 2 or more tables (joined).
When I have only 1 table, the return type of the function can be SETOF mytable. When I have 2 tables or more, am I obliged to create a type (CREATE TYPE) so that my function can return a SETOF mytype?
This works fine, but I'm trying to avoid building a specific type for each row returning function. Is there any other solution (SQL or PLPGSQL)?
TIA, -- Hervé Inisan.
