two options: 1. row_to_json(rowvar) SELECT row_to_json(foo) from foo; SELECT row_to_json(row(a,b,c)) from foo; 2. array_to_json(array_agg()/array()) SELECT array_to_json(array(select foo from foo)); SELECT array_to_json(array[1,2,3]); #1 I expect will be the more used version -- most json handling client side api (for example node.js drivers) are optimized for row by row processing, but via #2 you can stuff a whole query into single json object if you're so inclined. merlin -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
