Then use it like a table:
You need to use a set-returning function:
CREATE OR REPLACE function public.master_todo("actiontype" text, "actionvalue" text)
returns setof todo_list --<< this defines the structure of the result
LANGUAGE plpgsql
AS
$BODY$
BEGIN
IF (actiontype = 'getAllTodo') THEN
return query
SELECT * FROM todo_list;
END IF;
-- what do you want to return if a different action type was passed?
return query
SELECT *
FROM todo_list
WHERE ????;
END
$BODY$;Then use it like a table:
select *
from master_todo('getAllTodo', '42');Code Snippets
