Re: How to add a function that returns the result of a select statement?

Hi Gibson,
you need to add into and add a variable assuming your using plpgsql.

 

create or replace function function_name() returns user as'

begin

  declare rec user; 

  select into rec * from user;

  return rec;

end;

'language ' plpgsql';

 

This should work, I had the same problem the other day.

 

Regards,

Ben

Hi,

I've tried using the "New function" option to create a new SQL function
that will return the result of a select statement "Select * from user".
I've set the return type to be the "user" table. But i keep getting an
error about "Syntax error at or near Select". My SQL statement is very
simple "select * from user" so there is no syntax error. Anyone can help?
