Okay, right, i see. You can rewrite your function using IN/OUT-parameters.


For instance, your function:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION foo() RETURNS SETOF RECORD AS $$
DECLARE
        retval RECORD;
BEGIN
     some loop
           retval.jd := tmp.id;
           retval.d2 := _c2;
           retval.d3 := _c3;
           RETURN NEXT retval;
    end loop
return;
END;


rewrite to:


CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION foo(OUT jd int, OUT d2 int, OUT d3 int) RETURNS SETOF RECORD AS $$
BEGIN
  some loop
    jd := tmp.id;
    d2 := _c2;
    d3 := _c3;
    RETURN NEXT;
  end loop;
return;
END;



*untested*.


Hope that helps, Andreas
