There is still 1 open question -

In my custom function:

    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION words_check_words(
            IN in_uid integer,
            IN in_gid integer,
            IN in_tiles jsonb)
            RETURNS TABLE(word varchar, score integer) AS
    $func$


I iterate through tiles passed as last argument and store words built by
them at the game board into a temporary table:

            CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE _words (word varchar, score integer)
    ON COMMIT DROP;

            FOR _tile IN SELECT * FROM JSONB_ARRAY_ELEMENTS(in_tiles)
            LOOP
                  .....
                    IF LENGTH(_word) > 1 /* AND EXISTS SELECT 1 FROM
    words_nouns */ THEN
                            INSERT INTO _words(word, score)
                            VALUES (upper(_word), _score);
                    END IF;
            END LOOP;


And at the end I perform SELECT from the temp table:

            RETURN QUERY
            SELECT w.word, max(w.score) as score
            FROM _words w
            GROUP BY w.word;
    END
    $func$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;


The question is: if it is possible to get rid of the temp table and
instead add records to the implicit table being returned?

See RETURN NEXT:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/plpgsql-control-structures.html#PLPGSQL-STATEMENTS-RETURNING

40.6.1.2. RETURN NEXT and RETURN QUERY

Thank you
Alex
