Trying to do this in plpgsql is doomed to failure and heartache, because it's fundamentally a strongly typed language. The proposed functions won't fix that and hence will be unusable in practice. I'd suggest either using C, or using one of the less-strongly-typed PLs. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
