Re: RETURNS TABLE function: ERROR: column reference "word" is ambiguous

Thank you Adrian and others -

I am trying to replace INSERT into temp table in my custom function by RETURN NEXT, but get an error:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION words_check_words(
        IN in_uid integer,
        IN in_gid integer,
        IN in_tiles jsonb)
        RETURNS TABLE(word varchar, score integer) AS
$func$
.......

                        -- INSERT INTO _words(word, score)
                        -- VALUES (upper(_word), _score);

                        RETURN NEXT (word, score);


ERROR:  RETURN NEXT cannot have a parameter in function with OUT parameters
LINE 98:                         RETURN NEXT (word, score);
