Hi Sathish,
Thanks for your reply. But I have created the type to return the record set from my join query using a stored function. I cannot able to create a table with that details .. Since those details will be already available from different tables. One more thing .. I am clear with your result set using FOR ..LOOP but mine is not a normal query. it was built Dynamic based on my Input Parameters. Please look and tell me if you are not clear with my query.

For eg CREATE TYPE date_condition ( condition_id int, from_date date, to_date date); Instead , you can CREATE TABLE (ORDERSID INTEGER,ORDERDATE TIMESTAMP,COMPANYNAME TEXT,EVENTNAME CHARACTER VARYING); You can have result returning a set of records Feel free to comment on it Regrds sathish On Tue, Aug 12, 2008 at 3:08 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, Iam new to Postgresql, now i need to create a Dynamic SQL Query for returning the record set based on my Input Parameters.
