Unpacking array is more SQL construct for me, than SRF function. With function you cannot conntrol behave of unpacking. With SQL construct I can SELECT DISTINCT a(i) FROM generate_series ... remove duplicities SELECT a(i) FROM generate_series ORDER BY .. sorted output etc But I can SELECT * FROM generate_series(ARRAY[1,3,4,5,7,10]); else FUNCTION generate_series(anyarray) returns setof any Regards Pavel Stehule ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
