I use 7.3 and use RECORD as the input data type of the function by "create function foo(record) returns int4 as '$libdir/bar' language C". But I got this error msg:" ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "record" at character". What is the problem? I look up the 7.3 manual. it seems record is a supported pseudo data type.
