Tuple to List - Python / PostgreSQL return type of SETOF Record

Question

so from this code:

from dosql import *
import cgi
import simplejson as json

def index(req, userID):
    userID = cgi.escape(userID)

    get = doSql()
    rec =         


        

Answer 1

SELECT get_progressrecord(ID) will return a single column of type record.

SELECT * FROM get_progressrecord(ID) will return multiple columns (matching your out params).

As an aside, the fact that your output fields have no names might make your function a little difficult to work with. There's also an alternative syntax for RETURNS SETOF RECORD which I find easier:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_progressrecord(int)
  RETURNS TABLE(
    height decimal(5,2),
    weight decimal(5,2),
    bmi decimal(4,2),
    healthStatus text,
    age int,
    changePercentage decimal(4,2)
  ) AS
  ...
