<H4><A name="5.3">5.3</A>) How do I write a C function to return a |
|
|
|
|
tuple?</H4> |

<P>This requires wizardry so extreme that the authors have never |

|
|

tried it, though in principle it can be done.</P> |
|

|
<P>In versions of PostgreSQL beginning with 7.3, table-returning |
|
|
|
|
functions are fully supported in C, PL/PgSQL, and SQL. See the |
|
|
|
|
Programmer's Guide for more information. An example of a |
|
|
|
|
table-returning function defined in C can be found in |
|
|
|
|
contrib/tablefunc.</P> |
