Re: Returning a table in SQL

Show all headers | View raw

Actually, I figured it out :

with report as (select some_report('Customer','2014-08-01','2014-08-08') cr)
  select
    (cr).field1,
    (cr).field2,
    (cr).field3
  from report;

gives three separated columns.

WITH clause is for clarity solely

You need to use the function like a table if it returns a table:

with report as (
     select *
     fromsome_report('Customer','2014-08-01','2014-08-08')
)
select *
from report
