Re: SQL plan in functions

Yes, Raymond - I know how to return record set in function using FOR, but since version 8.3 there is a option - using RETURN QUERY SELECT something FROM somewhere;. So if it works for SELECT why should it not work for EXECUTE ?

No, it's a syntax error. :-)

You need to do something like this to return the rows from the query:

  FOR rec in EXECUTE 'your sql here'
  LOOP
    RETURN NEXT rec;
  END LOOP;

  RETURN;  -- exits from the function.
