I think there should be a generic way in Postgres to return from an EAV model. Although I have no evidence on that I
keepthinking that the db must be more effective at that than the application would be. 

I was hoping that now with PG supporting plan invalidation it would be possible to return a recordset. If there is no
genericway to return a recordset than being able to return an array is much better than nothing.
