> How do you return a "setof <datatype>" from a plpgsql function?
I'll respond to my own post...
After searching the archives I found a post by Jan Wieck that basically
says, "You can't....not sure if we will be able to do it for 7.2".
Then Tom Lane replied, "...If you want to fix plpgsql so that it retains
state and can produce multiple elements of a set over repeated calls,
the same way that SQL functions do, then it could be done today."

and
http://archives2.us.postgresql.org/pgsql-sql/2000-08/msg00252.php
They are dated August 2000.
It's over a year later. What's the status today? Is this planned for
7.2? The TODO list doesn't mention it.
