I have a function that inserts to columns into a table based upon the
result of a query from another table. The problem is, I can't seem to
figure out what the proper return type is for this function. Since it
doesn't retrieve anything, I can't return anything like that. Here's the
function creation statement (without the return type):
CREATE FUNCTION insert_unknown_mfr(varchar)
RETURNS ??
AS
'INSERT INTO unknown_mfr
SELECT DISTINCT manufacturer, drugname
FROM drugs
WHERE manufacturer = $1'
LANGUAGE 'sql;
