I am returning back to processing records in plpgsql.
I am thinking so it can be simply processed with transformations to array.
Now we have similar functions - hstore(row), row_to_json, ... but using of
these functions can be a useless step. Any row variable can be transformed to
2D text array.
How is it useless? Why wouldn't you just use JSON and be done with it?
Do you have some use cases you can share?
There two possible transformations:
row_to_array --> [[key1, value1],[key2, value2], ...]
row_to_row_array --> [(key1, value1), (key2, value2), ... ]
If we're going to go that route, I think it makes more sense to create an
actual key/value type (ie: http://pgxn.org/dist/pair/doc/pair.html) and return
an array of that.
