OK, thanks. I see where the problem is. We'll fix the SRF code.

cheers

Because that is exactly count of "tstset" function being called. Set returning functions are called recursively until SRF_RETURN_DONE is returned, and that in You case means until last row is fetched.

When You programming functions in "C", there is SRF_ISFIRST_CALL function that returns "true" if function is called for the first time, so You can write something like this:

if (SRF_ISFIRST_CALL())
{
        //Code that executes only once
}
else
{
        //Code that executes per row
}


I do not know how this works with plperl, and this could be a bug, because only "return [{i=>1,v=>"one"},{i=>2,v=>"two"}];" should be executed more than once (that is the way it is working in pl/psql). I'm sorry I can't help more, but do not know much about plperl :-(
Hope some plperl guru will know more...


Regards !

Can anyone suggest why I might be seeing this effect (each notice comes
out once per row plus once per function call)

thanks

andrew=# create function tstset() returns setof tst language plperl as $$
