problem with FOUND and EXECUTE in pl/pgsql

Hi there,

seems I don't understand how FOUND variable in pl/pgsql function defined,
when I use EXECUTE of PERFORM. There is no problem when I use plain SQL.
Below is a test I did for 8.4beta2. This is simplified script and I can use plain SQL, but in my project I need EXECUTE.

CREATE TABLE db (a INT, b TEXT);
INSERTYTT INTO db VALUES(1,'one');

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION merge_db(key INT, data TEXT) RETURNS VOID AS
$$
BEGIN
        EXECUTE  'UPDATE db SET b='||quote_literal(data)||' WHERE a='||key;
        RAISE NOTICE 'found:%',FOUND;
END;
$$
LANGUAGE plpgsql;


After successfull update I expected TRUE, as with plain INSERT (instead of EXECUTE), but FOUND is FALSE !

=# SELECT merge_db(1, 'two');
NOTICE:  found:f
merge_db ----------

(1 row)
=# select * from db;
a | b ---+-----
 1 | two
(1 row)




	Regards,
		Oleg
