I don't know I have not tried. Whether it works or not is not related to
the error message you are getting. OUT parameters are for output only,
they are declared in the function creation but not used when calling the
function. The fact that you are passing them in as arguments(including
the refcursor name) when calling the function is what is causing the
error. The way you are calling the function makes Postgres look for a
function with the signature of something like:
my_function(text, text, text)
when in reality your function has the signature of:
my_function()
There is no version of my_function that has the first signature so you
get the error.
The section I linked to has examples showing how to work with OUT
parameters. The examples use SQL functions, but the same thing applies
to plpgsl functions.
