Hi, I created an table with composite type array as datatype for one column. When I query that table I need the pg_typeof(column) as record[] instead of composite_type[]. I tried creating a separate function and returning record[], but below error is thrown,
ERROR: PL/pgSQL functions cannot return type record[] Below is sample for my requirement. pali=# create type address as (number bigint, city varchar); CREATE TYPE pali=# create table person(name varchar, addresses address[]); CREATE TABLE pali=# insert into person values ('Michael', array[(82, 'NYC'),(24, 'Dunkirk')]::address[]); INSERT 0 1 pali=# select pg_typeof(addresses::record[]) from person ; pg_typeof ----------- address[] Here I expect record[] instead of address[]. Thanks in advance.
