Postgresql plpgsql返回一行或另一行

我想在函数中以两种不同的方式查找数据，并在找到结果后立即返回

首先，我想运行一个查询，如

从company.id=x的公司中选择*

然后，如果没有返回结果，请尝试这样的查询

select company.*
  from
    company
  join
    company_alias on company.id = company_alias.company_id
  where
    company_alias.company_alias_id = x;

目前，我正在使用一个

union all

create or replace function get_payer(x int) returns company as $$
  select * from company where company.id = x
  union all
  select company.*
  from
    company
  join
    company_alias on company.id = company_alias.company_id
  where
    company_alias.company_alias_id = x;
$$ language sql stable
set search_path from current;

这似乎效率不高，因为我总是运行两个查询。但我不知道如何在plpgsql函数中构造一个条件来处理这个问题

我已经尝试了以下的变化，但没有任何运气

create or replace function payment_claim_payer(x int) returns company as $$
declare found_company company;
begin

  select * from company where company.id = x into found_company;

  if not exists found_company then
    select
      company.*
    from
      company
    join
      company_alias on company.id = company_alias.company_id
    where
      company_alias.company_alias_id = x into found_company;
  end if;

  return found_company;

end;
$$ language plpgsql stable
set search_path from current;

你最后一次尝试差点被击中。您需要一个plpgsql（非sql）函数，并应检查特殊变量：

您想要返回

*

还是只想返回

公司名称/id

？@JuanCarlosOropeza:这是Oracle PL/SQL手册-与Postgres的PL/pgSQL无关

create or replace function payment_claim_payer(x int) 
returns company language plpgsql as $$
declare found_company company;
begin
    select * 
    from company 
    where company.id = x 
    into found_company;

    if not found then
        select company.*
        from company
        join company_alias on company.id = company_alias.company_id
        where company_alias.company_alias_id = x 
        into found_company;
    end if;

    return found_company;
end;
$$;
