The documentation for pl/pgsql in 8.1 and higher says different.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/plpgsql-statements.html#PLPGSQL-STATEMENTS-EXECUTING-DYN
" SELECT INTO is not currently supported within EXECUTE."
The change is reflected in the HISTORY text though. How is the best way to get
