postgres=# do $$
declare r record;
declare k text; v text;
begin
for r in select * from foo loop
foreach k,v in array row_to_array(r) loop
raise notice 'k: %, v: %', k, v;
end loop;
end loop;
end;
$$;
NOTICE: k: a, v: 2
NOTICE: k: b, v: NAZDAR
NOTICE: k: c, v: 2015-01-27
NOTICE: k: a, v: 2
NOTICE: k: b, v: AHOJ
