Hello,
I'm trying to use the ROWTYPE return value of a plpgsql function in a
SELECT query. The test code is below.
The following query is accepted:
select id, usr, code, line1, line2 from tbl, get_lines(1);
id usr code line1 line2
----------------------------------
1 one 1 A B
2 two 2 A B
3 three 1 A B
But the same query with a parameter returns an error:
select id, usr, code, line1, line2 from tbl, get_lines(code);
--> ERROR: function expression in FROM may not refer to other relations
of same query level
Is there another way to run this query and get:
id usr code line1 line2
----------------------------------
1 one 1 A B
2 two 2 Z Z
3 three 1 A B
Thanks
----------------------------------------
TEST CODE
----------------------------------------
CREATE TYPE public.lines AS
(
line1 varchar(10),
line2 varchar(10)
);
CREATE TABLE public.tbl
(
id int4 PRIMARY KEY,
usr varchar(10),
code int4
) WITHOUT OIDS;
CREATE FUNCTION public.get_lines(int4)
RETURNS lines AS
'
DECLARE
code ALIAS FOR $1;
lines lines%rowtype;
BEGIN
IF code =3D 1 THEN
lines.line1 =3D ''A'';
lines.line2 =3D ''B'';
ELSE
lines.line1 =3D ''Z'';
lines.line2 =3D ''Z'';
END IF;
RETURN lines;
END;
'
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE;
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES (1, 'one', 1);
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES (2, 'two', 2);
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES (3, 'three', 1);
