Description: Function's final statement must be a SELECT
Details:
create function test(text) returns table as $sql$
insert into table(value) values($1) returning *;
$sql$ language sql;
really should work now, instead I get:
PGError: ERROR: return type mismatch in function declared to return table
DETAIL: Function's final statement must be a SELECT.
