Is there a fundamental reason SQL/plpgsql functions won't accept record
as an input type? If not, can someone point me at a patch that might
show how much work would be involved in adding support?
My particular use case is a generic function that will count how many
fields in a record are NULL. I can do it in pure SQL (below), but was
hoping to wrap the entire thing in a function. Right now, I have to add
a call to row_to_json() to the function call.
SELECT count(*) FROM json_each_text( row_to_json($1) ) a WHERE value IS NULL
