It's trivial to specify columns when a table-returning function is the FROM clause, but how does one specify columns when the table-returning function is a column in a SELECT clause?
I don't have the proper vocabulary to know what to Google for. Examples below: Easy: cdsbmop=# select downstream_table, downstream_column, downstream_index cdsbmop-# from dba.get_fk_referenced_by('cdsschema.retention_policy_code'); downstream_table | downstream_column | downstream_index ---------------------------------------+--------------------------+----------------------------------------------------- cdsschema.bank_item_type_ret | retention_policy_code_id | ALERT!!! MISSING INDEX cdsschema.bank_item_type_ret_hist | retention_policy_code_id | ALERT!!! MISSING INDEX cdsschema.customer_item_type_ret | retention_policy_code_id | idx_customer_item_type_ret_retention_policy_code_id cdsschema.customer_item_type_ret_hist | retention_policy_code_id | ALERT!!! MISSING INDEX cdsschema.ex_data_partition_policy | retention_policy_code_id | ALERT!!! MISSING INDEX cdsschema.lockbox_item_type_ret | retention_policy_code_id | idx_lockbox_item_type_ret_retention_policy_code_id cdsschema.lockbox_item_type_ret_hist | retention_policy_code_id | ALERT!!! MISSING INDEX (7 rows) cdsbmop=# select table_name from dba.latest_vacuum_and_analyze where table_name = 'retention_policy_code'; table_name ----------------------- retention_policy_code (1 row) Here, I want to only specify some of the dba.get_fk_referenced_by() columns: cdsbmop=# select dba.get_fk_referenced_by('cdsschema.'||table_name) from dba.latest_vacuum_and_analyze where table_name = 'retention_policy_code'; get_fk_referenced_by ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ (retention_policy_code_id,cdsschema.bank_item_type_ret,retention_policy_code_id,"ALERT!!! MISSING INDEX") (retention_policy_code_id,cdsschema.bank_item_type_ret_hist,retention_policy_code_id,"ALERT!!! MISSING INDEX") (retention_policy_code_id,cdsschema.customer_item_type_ret,retention_policy_code_id,idx_customer_item_type_ret_retention_policy_code_id) (retention_policy_code_id,cdsschema.customer_item_type_ret_hist,retention_policy_code_id,"ALERT!!! MISSING INDEX") (retention_policy_code_id,cdsschema.ex_data_partition_policy,retention_policy_code_id,"ALERT!!! MISSING INDEX") (retention_policy_code_id,cdsschema.lockbox_item_type_ret,retention_policy_code_id,idx_lockbox_item_type_ret_retention_policy_code_id) (retention_policy_code_id,cdsschema.lockbox_item_type_ret_hist,retention_policy_code_id,"ALERT!!! MISSING INDEX") (7 rows) -- Death to <Redacted>, and butter sauce. Don't boil me, I'm still alive. <Redacted> lobster!
