I've been looking at this, and my feeling is that we should drop the PROARGMODE_TABLE business and just define RETURNS TABLE(x int, y int) as exactly equivalent to RETURNS SETOF RECORD with x and y treated as OUT parameters. There isn't any advantage to distinguishing the cases that outweighs breaking client code that looks at pg_proc.proargmodes. I don't believe that the SQL spec prevents us from exposing those parameter names to PL functions, especially since none of our PLs are in the standard at all. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org
