Re: Query_time SQL as a function w/o creating a new type

You could try this:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION foo( out procpid integer, out client_addr inet, out
query_time interval, out current_query text )
RETURNS SETOF RECORD AS $BODY$
...
$BODY$ LANGUAGE PLPGSQL VOLATILE;

(Thanks to Joen Conway for showing this in tablefunc!)
