Hello

Iam play with SRF function and found difference between behavior system
function pg_stat_get_backend_idset and own function in plpgsql;

aopk=> \df pg_stat_get_backend_idset
Datový typ výsledku | Schéma | Jméno | Datový typ
parametru
---------------------+------------+---------------------------+----------------------
setof integer | pg_catalog | pg_stat_get_backend_idset |
aopk=> \df aa
Datový typ výsledku | Schéma | Jméno | Datový typ parametru
---------------------+--------+-------+----------------------
setof integer | public | aa |

I can select * from pg_stat_get_backend_idset();
I can select * from aa()

I understand, but I can call too

select pg_stat_get_backend_idset();
pg_stat_get_backend_idset

This isn't right for srf function, or else. I wont write own srf function
with equal feature - similir like MSSQL procedures. It's possible?

Regards

Pavel
