SELECT INTO a variable will only get the first row of the returning
rowset. To get the full rowset into a temporary table, you'll have to
use INSERT INTO MYTEMPTABLE SELECT * FROM MYFUNCTION(), but working with
temporary tables is never very pleasing in postgresql.
I recommmend you to iterate over the results by doing the following:
_t := 0;
FOR _myrecord IN SELECT * FROM myfunction(...)
LOOP _t := _t + _myrecord.mycolumn;
END LOOP;
