Re: user defined function

I use 7.3 and use  RECORD as the input data type of the function by
"create function foo(record) returns int4 as '$libdir/bar' language
C". But I got this error msg:" ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near
"record" at character".  What is the problem? I look up the 7.3
manual. it seems record is a supported pseudo data type.
