How to get data from a server function that executes a query

[sbel...@gmail.com]

Folks,

I'm banging my head on how to SELECT from a server function that executes a query and returns it's results.

What's returned is apparently a text-encoded tuple. But it's not a format that I can parse easily. For example:

"(06f65766-6aca-486f-806b-24972b36cff8,testeece91155e0996ed3990babee359e868XX-8371f81b-010c-433b-a53b-9883855c2124,SomeType,0,1,\"{\"\"attribute\"\": \"\"bde32e7f42426b17f665536b31731987\"\"}\",\"{\"\"metaAttribute\"\": \"\"fd334ca5e1d54743160144ab5da0eb09\"\"}\",\"2018-06-08 01:23:05.114566\")"

Certainly I'm doing something wrong here. If anyone can set me straight, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

How is the function defined and how do you query it? Wouldn't you just
do it like in this case?

postgres=# \sf generate_series(integer,integer)
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION pg_catalog.generate_series(integer, integer)
RETURNS SETOF integer
LANGUAGE internal
IMMUTABLE STRICT
AS $function$generate_series_int4$function$
postgres=# select * from generate_series(1,10);
generate_series
-----------------
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
(10 rows)

Cheers

Robert,

Turns out the problem was with the way I was calling the server function. Once I corrected it, everything worked fine.

Thanks!
