is this what you want? if not, maybe # select id, (select vhrs from test(id)) as vhrs, (select phrs from test(id)) as phrs, (select fhrs from test(id)) as fhrs from ids; note: declare your function volatility - see http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/xfunc-volatility.html note: in above example, a VIEW would be enough. -- Filip Rembiałkowski JID,mailto:filip.rembialkow...@gmail.com http://filip.rembialkowski.net/
