When I run     select * from GetAccountInfo (100)    I get the following

returning "record"

please can someone explain to me how to create a column definition list.

CREATE FUNCTION foo() RETURNS SETOF RECORD AS 'SELECT 1::int,2::int,''A''::text;' LANGUAGE sql;

SELECT * FROM foo() AS (a int, b int, c text);
 a | b | c
---+---+---
 1 | 2 | A
(1 row)

The other way (which I prefer) is to define a type and change the function definition:

CREATE TYPE foo_res_type AS (a int, b int, c text);
CREATE FUNCTION foo() RETURNS SETOF foo_res_type ...
