Records

Updated on 2024-05-07 GMT+08:00

record Variables

Perform the following operations to create a record variable:

Define a record type and use this type to declare a variable.

Syntax

For the syntax of the record type, see Figure 1.

Figure 1 Syntax of the record type

The above syntax diagram is explained as follows:

  • record_type: record type
  • field: record columns
  • datatype: record data type
  • expression: expression for setting a default value
NOTE:

In GaussDB:

  • When assigning values to record variables, you can:
    • Declare a record type and define member variables of this type when you declare a function or stored procedure.
    • Assign the value of a record variable to another record variable.
    • Use SELECT INTO or FETCH to assign values to a record type.
    • Assign the NULL value to a record variable.
  • The INSERT and UPDATE statements cannot use a record variable to insert or update data.
  • The constructor of the record type cannot be used as the default value of a function or stored procedure parameter.
  • When package_name.record_type is used to declare a record variable, the default value of the record type becomes invalid. Therefore, you are advised not to use package_name.record_type to declare a record variable when the record type has a default value.
  • Just like a variable, a record column of the compound type does not have a default value in the declaration.
  • If a member has a record type, the default value of the inner record type is not transferred to the outer record type.
  • If enable_recordtype_check_strict is set to on and the member is of the record type and a column of the record type has the not null or default attribute, an error is reported during stored procedure or package compilation.
  • If enable_recordtype_check_strict is set to on, a package contains the record type, and a column of the record type has the not null or default attribute, an error is reported during creation or compilation.
  • If enable_recordtype_check_strict is set to on, the not null function of the record type in the stored procedure takes effect.
  • The data type can be the record type, array type, or collection type defined in a stored procedure (anonymous blocks are not supported).
  • After the GUC parameter set behavior_compat_options is set to 'proc_outparam_override':
    • Functions that contain the out output parameter and returns data of the record type can be invoked using SELECT and CALL in external SQL statements, and can be invoked using PERFORM and expressions in stored procedures.
    • If the function returns data of the undefined record type, at least one out parameter is required. If the function returns data of the defined record type, the out parameter is optional. For details, see the example.
    • Functions that contain the out output parameter and return data of the composite or record type, ensure that the expected return type of the function is the same as the actual return type.
