Re: [GENERAL] Function Returning SETOF RECORD: Trouble With Char Type
Thanks a lot. I missed your post when it first came up, but I just tried double-quoting the type indicator and it worked like a charm! --Angus Tom Lane wrote: "Angus B.

I think the problem is that you're declaring the contype return column as char (ie, character(1)) when pg_constraint.contype is actually "char" (a historical PG datatype that's really just a single byte). The naming confusion is unfortunate but we've never bitten the bullet to rename "char" to something else. Use quotes, or explicitly cast the catalog column to regular char in the function's query. regards, tom lane
