Other solution, but new problem for you:
test=# create or replace function atif(int, text) returns record as
$$declare r record; begin select into r 1::int, 'hello world'::text; return r; end;$$language plpgsql;
CREATE FUNCTION
test=*# select * from atif (0,'test') as foo(a int, b text);
a | b
---+-------------
1 | hello world
(1 row)
test=*# select * from atif (0,'test');
ERROR: a column definition list is required for functions returning "record"
LINE 1: select * from atif (0,'test');
Now you have to define the result-type later, but you have to define
that.
Regards, Andreas
