Is the function SQL or PL/pgSQL? Here's an example of each:
CREATE TABLE foo (id integer, t text);
INSERT INTO foo VALUES (1, 'one');
INSERT INTO foo VALUES (2, 'two');
CREATE FUNCTION func1() RETURNS SETOF foo AS $$
SELECT * FROM foo;
$$ LANGUAGE sql STABLE;
CREATE FUNCTION func2() RETURNS SETOF foo AS $$
DECLARE
row foo%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
FOR row IN SELECT * FROM foo LOOP
RETURN NEXT row;
END LOOP;
RETURN;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql STABLE;
SELECT * FROM func1();
id | t
----+-----
1 | one
2 | two
(2 rows)
SELECT * FROM func2();
id | t
----+-----
1 | one
2 | two
(2 rows)
