Обсуждение: pgsql: Improve the error message for an inappropriate column definition
Improve the error message for an inappropriate column definition list. The existing message about "a column definition list is only allowed for functions returning "record"" could be given in some cases where it was fairly confusing; in particular, a function with multiple OUT parameters *does* return record according to pg_proc. Break it down into a couple more cases to deliver a more on-point complaint. Per complaint from Bruce Momjian.

No. It's not a bug fix, and it'd add work for translators.

OK. I guess this wasn't enough of an improvement. -- Bruce Momjian <bruce@momjian.us> https://momjian.us EnterpriseDB https://enterprisedb.com The usefulness of a cup is in its emptiness, Bruce Lee
