hello list,

i am a newbie in postgresql.

i ported a small application to postgresql 8.2 originally written to store data in maxdb. since stored procedures are not supported in postgresql and since postgresql functions cannot return cursor to the calling applications, i rewrote the maxdb stored procedures into functions that store rows in temp tables and return the temp table name to the application ( saves on coding the select string in the application) , and retrieve the rows from the temp table within the same session. this i can no longer do after upgrading to 8.3. is there any thing i can do to restore this functionality i can get in 8.2, like configuration tweaking, apart from recoding the select string in the application.

regards and any help is highly appreciated,
