Here's a simple function and a fetch passed in through
psql -e
create table test1(a int);
CREATE
insert into test1 values (1);
INSERT 156460 1
insert into test1 values (2);
INSERT 156461 1
insert into test1 values (3);
INSERT 156462 1
insert into test1 values (4);
INSERT 156463 1
insert into test1 values (5);
INSERT 156464 1
create function testfunc1(int4) returns refcursor as '
declare
r refcursor;
begin
open r for select * from test1 where a>=$1;
return r;
end;'
language 'plpgsql';
CREATE
begin;
BEGIN
select testfunc1(2);
testfunc1

fetch 1 from "<unnamed cursor 1>";
