Re: Need help returning record set from a dynamic sql query

>Iam getting just the first record from the recordset
That's because you use SELECT INTO, you should use FOR rec IN <query> LOOP

Here's sample code from
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/plpgsql-control-structures.html

CREATE TABLE test (textcol varchar(10), intcol int);
INSERT INTO test VALUES ('a', 1);
INSERT INTO test VALUES ('a', 2);
INSERT INTO test VALUES ('b', 5);
INSERT INTO test VALUES ('b', 6);

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION ReturnNexting(pText Text) RETURNS SETOF test AS
$$
DECLARE
rec RECORD;
BEGIN
FOR rec IN SELECT * FROM test WHERE textcol = pText LOOP
RETURN NEXT rec;
END LOOP;
RETURN;
END;
$$
LANGUAGE plpgsql;

SELECT * FROM ReturnNexting('a');
