I'm pretty sure folks are going to want to see an example of the code and the errors thrown in version 14.
Sorry, I thought that was pretty clear. As an example, this worked prior to 14 and no longer works:
CREATE TABLE foo ( bar SERIAL PRIMARY KEY, baz TEXT );
CREATE FUNCTION update_foo(in_bar INT4, in_baz TEXT) RETURNS SETOF foo AS $$ BEGIN RETURN QUERY UPDATE foo SET baz = in_baz WHERE bar = in_bar RETURNING bar, baz; END; $$ LANGUAGE PLPGSQL;
postgres=# SELECT * FROM update_foo(1, 'baz?'); ERROR: query is not a SELECT CONTEXT: query: UPDATE foo SET baz = in_baz WHERE bar = in_bar RETURNING bar, baz PL/pgSQL function update_foo(integer,text) line 3 at RETURN QUERY
