I am currently converting everything from SQL Server to PostgreSQL. This is for an application that is going to support Oracle, SQL Server and PostgreSQL at the same time. I have done a lot of the conversion already but I am stuck on functions that returns parts of views or tables.[...snip description of SQL Server 2000 table-valued UDFs...]
I know "returns setof record" and "returns setof my_own_datatype" work, but I would like to know if there is a better way? Something that's like "returns setof record" but without having to define all the columns when I call the function? {i.e. without the need to do: select * from myfunction() as (column1 type1, column2...);}
If there is such method? It will allow me to maintain the application much easier and makes the conversion task much easier :)
Sorry -- the answer is no. But I don't think Oracle will support what you want either.
