Re: [INTERFACES] C tuples (For V7 please, hackers!)

I've been recently moving apps between databases and have found that the
major
limitation with postgresql is the inability of stored procedures to return a
record set.

The aim should be to be able to transparently replace a table with a stored
procedure.

This might mean supplementing the existing function mechanism with something
new.


IMHO, this is _more_important_  than removing the 8K tuple limit.
