Bug reference: 2230
Logged by: Murat Tasan
Email address: murat.tasan (AT) cwru (DOT) edu
PostgreSQL version: 8.1.2
Operating system: Mac OS 10.4.4
Description: cannot return a setof column referenced types
Details:

Hi, I already heard from Tom Lane that this is a grammar oversight, and I
suspect it is a fairly easy fix... but to be somewhat formal I figured I'll
go ahead and fill the report:

During function creation, one cannot combine both SETOF and %TYPE.

For example:

CREATE FUNCTION temp_function() RETURNS SETOF table.column%TYPE AS %%
function_definition_here %% LANGUAGE SQL;

fails.

FYI.

Cheers!

Murat
