+ In some cases it is useful to define table functions that can return
+ different column sets depending on how they are invoked. To support this,
+ the table function can be declared as returning the pseudo-type
+ <type>record</>. When such a function is used in a query, the expected
+ row structure must be specified in the query itself, so that the system
+ can know how to parse and plan the query. Consider this example:
+<programlisting>
+SELECT *
+FROM dblink('dbname=template1', 'select proname, prosrc from pg_proc')
+ AS t1(proname name, prosrc text)
+WHERE proname LIKE 'bytea%';
+</programlisting>
+ The <literal>dblink</> function executes a remote query (see
+ <literal>contrib/dblink</>). It is declared to return <type>record</>
+ since it might be used for any kind of query. The actual column set
+ must be specified in the calling query so that the parser knows, for
+ example, what <literal>*</> should expand to.
