Hi

When I run the function below I recieve an error message saying that column \
definitions need to be specified for a function returing a type RECORD.

I was under the impression that the FOR row IN SELECT... loop would assign a column \
structure to the RECORD type. Am I wrong about this?

CREATE FUNCTION test() RETURNS SETOF RECORD AS '
DECLARE
  row  RECORD;
BEGIN
  FOR row IN SELECT * FROM dates LOOP
    RETURN NEXT row;
  END LOOP;

  RETURN;
END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

PostgreSQL 7.3.2-3 on Red Hat 9.

Regards

John Duffy
