Re: PL/PGSQL Record type question

create a function with return type as a RECORD.

CREATE FUNCTION xyz() RETURNS record AS
$$declare abc RECORD;begin abc := (1, 2); return abc;end;
$$
language plpgsql;

And execute the function in this fashion:

select a, b from xyz() as (a int, b int);

Do you like that ...  :-)
