Tom -
I've also tried this select * from placenamesearch('Cheshire',9,'New
Haven','','') as (FeatureName varchar, CountyName varchar, State char,
Cellname varchar, Elevation int4, PrimaryLatDD float8, PrimaryLonDD
float8);
ERROR: wrong record type supplied in RETURN NEXT
:( I realize it often automatically converts, and I've tried using
varchar and char for the state column, as well as int4, integer, and int
for the other columns.

You've got the State output column declared as varchar, but actually
it's char. PG will often do automatic conversion from one type to the
other, but in this context it's picky...
