AFAIK, plpgsql doesn't support this --- it doesn't have any way to pass
a row or record variable as a parameter to the main executor. Possibly
this will get fixed someday; I don't know o

Not directly, but I think ORDER BY assignedAt IS NOT NULL, assignedAt ASC
will give the ordering you want at the co

Is it possible to write a function (in sql or plpgsql) that allows for an unknown amount of arguments? Something similar to C's printf() function.

Pleas also note that the referenced column in the foreign table either needs

You might be better off with something more like this:
SELECT COUNT(P.*) AS p_count, P.p_product_category_id FROM p_product P
WHERE P.p_product_category_id IN (SELECT DISTINCT id FROM

obviously tailored to YOUR schema... not mine...
