I guess I should have made this two questions . . . . I got your answers
(On the TODO list). I was wondering if that was true for both issues:
1. ability to call a function (Like a store procedure call) ?
2. Ability to return multiple values ?
Are both of these on the TODO list ?.

This is an area currently under development for PostgreSQL. There is
some limited ability to return recordsets from Postgres using cursor
and/or Record objects. However, I do not know that this is yet
documented, as the functionality was just added for 7.2.
Overall, stored procedures like you describe remain on the "To Do"
list.
