Hi Hackers How hard would it be to add support for LIKE syntax, similar to table def in field list declaration for generic record functions
What I'dd like to be able to do is to have a generic json_to_record function CREATE OR REPLACE RECORD json_to_record(json) RETURNS RECORD AS $$ ... $$ LANGUAGE ... ; and then be able to call it like this insert into test2 select * from json_to_record(jrec json) as (like test2); ERROR: syntax error at or near "like" instead of explicitly spelling out the structure of table test2 in the AS part. insert into test2 select * from json_to_record(jrec json) as (id int, data2 test, tstamp timestamp); INSERT 0 1 PS. As a pie-in-the-sky wish I'd prefer of course even simpler syntax of insert into test2 json_to_record(jrec json); or at least insert into test2 json_to_record(jrec json)::test2; :) - ------- Hannu Krosing PostgreSQL Unlimited Scalability and Performance Consultant 2ndQuadrant Nordic PG Admin Book: http://www.2ndQuadrant.com/books/ -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
