Re: [PHP] help ?

The PHP list is probably sub-optimal, so I'm cross posting this to
general. Whoever gets it next there, please remove the PHP cc then.

Every version I've ever used. If you are running anything older than
7.2.4 you should upgrade.

7.3.3 is the latest stable release, and it is quite stable and very fast.

You're going to need 7.3.x to do this, so you may as well upgrade to it
now. Record sets can be returned as of version 7.3.

For more information on record sets in stored procedures, see the
programmer's guide:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/view.php?version=7.3&idoc=0&file=programmer.html

Sepcifically the section on returning rows in plpgsql:

Happy hacking!
