I don't think we need a RETURNS clause on it for it to be useful.
A note about void returning functions....there are no send/recv functions for the void type which will cause problems for users of this feature over the binary protocol. You can work around this with normal functions by forcing them to return a value but not with ACB. Is there any reason why void doens't have send/recv? merlin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
