Hi,
I am trying to use a composite type within a function, I have
tried SELECT INTO and direct assignment to set the value of a single element
within the composite variable with no joy. I hope this is simply a case of my
not knowing the correct syntax?
My example code is :
CREATE TYPE testtype AS (
a INTEGER,
b INTEGER
);
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test() RETURNS INTEGER AS $$
DECLARE
x testtype;
BEGIN
(x).a:=1;
RETURN 1;
END
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
This throws up syntax errors for the (x).a:=1; line.. I have also tried SELECT
INTO (x).a 1;
Any help much appreciated, version of PostgreSQL is 8.4 under Debian.
Thanks
Graeme
