Re: Newbie questions, diff between functions and procedures; & why cube functions?



Hi,

As of PostgreSQL-8.1 function arguments can be declared IN (default), OUT or
INOUT (cf. "CREATE FUNCTION"). If I understand it right, pgAdmin puts a 
function into its "Procedures" section, if it has at least one OUT parameter.

Ciao,
