Обсуждение: returning Setof Record

hi
Q1 - is it at least notionally possible to declare a function to return
'setof record' - i.e. a generic composite type as opposed to a composite
type based on an exisiting table?

Q2 - Supposing it is possible When I try the above I get the error:
"A column definition list is required for functions returning RECORD"
So now I'm wondering how to define a "column defintition list" ?

Any help muchly appreciated.
Glenn

Glenn,

You will have to specify the structure of the record when you select
from the function.
