As you can see, is_odd function (only a function example) is being run
twice with exactly the same parameters to put a value into action
field and into number field. Since it's the same function call, I want
it to be run only once and put the above values into their
corresponding fields. My actual function is not that expensive, but
has to be run for every retrieved row, obviously. Does this change
your explanation?
If your objective is to run a stored procedure once but return several
values, look at either defining multiple OUT parameters, or returning a
record type.
