Selecting from a function(x,y) returning a row-type(sum, prod)



Hi,

I'm trying to select data from a table, converting two values and return all four. Maybe this is best explained with an example:

The function from the documentation on pl/pgsql:

CREATE FUNCTION sum_n_product(x int, y int, OUT sum int, OUT prod int) AS $$
BEGIN
    sum := x + y;
    prod := x * y;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;

And a table 'myvals' with x and y integer values:
CREATE TABLE myvals (INT x, INT y);


How can I do the following:

select * from myvals, sum_n_product(myvals.x, myvals.y);

Here I get an error:
ERROR: function expression in FROM may not refer to other relations of same query level

What I want is a view with the values:

x | y | sum | prod |


Best regards,

Heiko
