Re: accessing fully qualified fields in records in PLPGSQL?

dev=> CREATE FUNCTION test() RETURNS INTEGER AS '
dev'> DECLARE
dev'> rec RECORD;
dev'> val INTEGER;
dev'> BEGIN
dev'> FOR rec IN SELECT oid FROM inv_locations LOOP
dev'> val := rec.oid;
dev'> END LOOP;
dev'> RETURN val;
dev'> END;' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
CREATE
dev=> select test();
test
--------
534321
(1 row)

Did not see your declare etc but this one works. Returns the final oid for
that table
