The signature has changed over time: 7.3 record_out(record) 7.4 record_out(record) 8.0 record_out(record,oid) 8.1 record_out(record) As I already discovered and as Tom pointed out, the cast from foo to record works only in 8.1. In 8.0 you can use row(foo), but that adds even more decoration to the output. -- Michael Fuhr ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
