Hi list,
I have written a function that returns a setof record. The function has
a table name as a parameter and the resulting records have the same
structure as this table. Is there any easy way to specify this when I
call the function? If the table has many columns then it's annoying to
specify all of them.
I need something like:
select * from myfunc('mytable') as x(like mytable)
or
select * from myfunc('mytable') as x(mytable%TYPE)
Is there any solution for PostgreSQL 8.2?
Regards,
Christian
