All,

I'm trying to figure out how functions work in PGSQL.  I've got a sample here but I keep getting an error and I'm not sure why.

CREATE FUNCTION test2(VARCHAR) RETURNS SETOF TEXT AS
'
DECLARE
 r record;
BEGIN
FOR r IN
 select router_name from router where router_name ~ $1
LOOP
RETURN NEXT r;
END LOOP;
RETURN;
END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';

Then when I run this command:
select * from test2('houston');

I get an error:
WARNING:  Error occurred while executing PL/pgSQL function test2
WARNING:  line 7 at return next
ERROR:  Attribute "r" not found

I'm not sure why I get this error, i thought I declared it in the declare section.

Thanks,
Nick
