To be honest I cannot follow what you are trying to achieve below. I do have one suggestion as to creating temp tables.

Why not use a  CTE:

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/queries-with.html

in the function to build a 'temp' table on the fly?


create function filter_id()
return table (id bigint)
begin

--> Assuming input table is already created #temp_input_id

retun query as select id
from tbl a
inner join
#temp_input_id b on (a.id <http://a.id> = b.id <http://b.id>)
where a.<conditions>;

end;


--> Calling Function:

create function caller()
return table (id bigint,col1 bigint, col2 bigint)
begin

--> do some processing

--> Find out the input id's for filtering.

--> Create temp table for providing input for the filtering function

create temp table #TEMP1
as select id from tbla........;
(Cannot move the input id logic to  filter_function)

--> calling the filter function
create temp table #TEMP2
as select * from filter_id(); --> This is a generic function used in many functions.


return query
as select a.*
from tb3 a inner join tb4 inner join tb 5 inner join #TEMP2;
end;


Is there any alternate way of achieving this? Passing multiple records to a function im creating a temp table before invoking the function. For receiving an output of multiple rows i'm creating a temp table to reuse further in the code.

Can this be done using Refcursor? Is it possible to convert refcursor to a temp table and use it as normal  table in query?
