Hi all,
on my journey to learning PostgreSQL and PostGis I am now trying to write a function in pl/pgsql. In this little program I would like to determine the frequency of different x-values of POINT3D objects to get an idea about how many "rows" were digitized.

Therefore I would like to use the following command:

FOR x_value IN SELECT ST_X(points) FROM table LOOP

The problem is that in the DECLARE-section x_value has to be set to type RECORD.

x_value RECORD;

In the course of the program I would like to work with REAL values for convenience. How do I go about casting the x_value RECORD, which seems to be some kind of string with brackets around the value, to a REAL object? Any ideas?

Regards
Jan
