Re: Like to RETURN SQL results set

Laurenz:
Numbers of returning columns will vary dynamically.
Based on that SELECT * FROM func() AS (c1 integer, c2 text) is not applicable in my case.
Thanks,
Sarwar

No, this is not possible, unless you declare the function as "RETURNS SETOF record".
But then you have to specify the column list when you use the function, e.g.:

SELECT * FROM func() AS (c1 integer, c2 text)
