You have to return a rowtype value.
There's an example in the 8.0devel docs:
http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/plpgsql-porting.html#PLPGSQL-PORTING-EX3
The example is making use of an 8.0-only feature (explicit names for
parameters) but otherwise I believe it would work in 7.4. Not sure
about pre-7.4.
BTW, the correct name of our software is PostgreSQL or informally
Postgres. No one associated with the project has ever called it
"Postgre". Pronounce it "post-gress" or "post-gress-cue-ell".
