Is it legal to have an ORDER BY clause in a SELECT statement inside an
SQL function?
This works fine:
CREATE FUNCTION getChildNodes (INT) RETURNS setof INT
AS '
SELECT child_node_id
FROM t_arch
WHERE parent_node_id = $1;
' LANGUAGE 'sql';
But this prints an error:
CREATE FUNCTION getChildNodes (INT) RETURNS setof INT
AS '
SELECT child_node_id
FROM t_arch
WHERE parent_node_id = $1
ORDER BY child_ord_no;
' LANGUAGE 'sql';
This is the error message:
function declared to return int4 returns multiple values in final
retrieve
I'm using Postges 7.0.2
