What language? What version of postgresql?
It's not exactly clear from your description but is there a reason you
are using libpq and not the SPI interface? If you create a connection
using libpq to the same database then the queries executed through that
connection will not be able to see the transaction of the SRF you are
writing. The SPI interface is for executing queries within the same
transaction.

If this doesn't help maybe you should post an example (with code) of
what your problem actually is.
Hope this helps,
