FYI, FWIW.
Speaking of documentation, it's none too clear that
%ROWTYPE does not seem to work when declaring plpgsql
functions. (pg 8.0.3 I looked at the release notes
and didn't see anything fixed in newer versions.)
So, either the docs are broken, postgres is broken, or
I'm not reading things right/understanding. (Or maybe
declaring arguments is new enough that it just does not
work yet.)
babase_copy=# create temp table bar (id int, logic boolean);
CREATE TABLE
babase_copy=# create function baz (arg bar%ROWTYPE) returns void
language 'plpgsql' as $$ begin return; end; $$;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "%" at character 29
LINE 1: create function baz (arg bar%ROWTYPE) returns void language ...
^
babase_copy=# create function baz (arg bar) returns void language
'plpgsql' as $$ begin return ; end ; $$;
CREATE FUNCTION
