By no means. The point is that there are some callers of SRFs that are going to materialize the result set, as well as some SRFs that are going to hand back a materialized result set anyway. The interface can handle a tuple-per-call but that's not the way everybody chooses to use it. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 5: don't forget to increase your free space map settings
