Re: Redundant explicit field name/types description while select from function with return type of record

a column definition list is required for functions returning "record"
It seems a BUG

I don't think so. We can say it is a missing feature. As stated in [1], record types don't have a predefined structure -- they're placeholders. How do you know the row structure before hand? Its structure can be changed on-the-fly.

Are you agree with my suggestion? If so will you plan to fix this BUG?


TODO?
