[SQL] Stored Procedures returning a RECORD

[Kent Anderson]

I am attempting to use a stored procedure to pull a report from the database. My questions is if its even possible to pull the data using a function and then treat the returned data as a normal recordset with the web pages.

 

The actual function looks like

 

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION submissionreport(integer, date, text) RETURNS RECORD AS'
 
 DECLARE
 somekey ALIAS for $1;
 somedate ALIAS for $2;
 somesortorder ALIAS for $3;
 submission RECORD;
 BEGIN

SELECT INTO submission  (... stuff goes here)
ORDER BY sort;

 

    RETURN submission;
END;
' LANGUAGE plpgsql;

 

The error being returned is in the web pages"

SQLState: 08S01 Native Error Code: 1 Error while executing the query; ERROR: cannot display a value of type record"
