Re: filtering after join

I got errors in this query. I have a function complete(record) which
takes a generic record type data. But it seems cannot be applied to a
sub-select result:

backend> explain select * from (select * from Person,Auction where
Person.id=Auction.seller) as s where complete(s)
QUERY: explain select * from (select * from Person,Auction where
Person.id=Auction.seller) as s where complete(s)

ERROR: Cannot pass result of sub-select or join s to a function
