Ah you want to return a record I suppose?
CREATE TABLE test (id int, name text);
INSERT INTO test VALUES(1, 'me');
INSERT INTO test VALUES(2, 'you');
CREATE FUNCTION test_func() RETURNS SETOF record AS '
SELECT id, name FROM test;
' LANGUAGE SQL;
SELECT * FROM test_func() AS (id int, name text);
id | name
----+------
1 | me
2 | you
Cheers
Adam
