[Feature request] variable declaration of anonymous composite data type in PL/pgSQL

Hello, Not sure whether it's appropriate list for feature requests though.. Would it be suitable to implement such variable declarations in PL/pgSQL so that following (or similar) constructs would be possible? DECLAREtmpStruct (name varchar, foo integer, bar boolean)[] := array[ ('somename', 1, true), ('someothername', 2, false), ('yetothername', 3, true)]; BEGIN ... Or maybe it is possible already? (I know there are temporary tables but it's not quite the same). The goal to have temporary local random access data structures (like lookup tables), similar to those in C. -- regards MM

You can get close using VALUES: create or replace function foo() returns void language plpgsql as $$ declare rec record; begin for rec in select * from (values (1::int,'a'::text,'2009-08-06'::date), (5,'wxy','1998-12-23')) as x (a , b , c ) loop raise notice 'a: %, b: %, c: %', rec.a + 1, length(rec.b), rec.c + interval '1day'; end loop; end; $$; cheers andrew
