Re: returning values from dynamic SQL to a variable

I have a related problem and tried the PERFORM...EXECUTE pattern suggested
but no matter where I put PERFORM I get 'function not found' errors.

I want to loop through id values returned by a query and execute another
with each i as a parameter. Each subquery will return 6-8 rows. This is a
simplified example, in the real app the subquery is doing some aggregation
work.

Tried many many things including this pattern below and read everything I
could find, but no go. Any help appreciated.

++++++++++++++++
create or replace function getRowsA() returns setof record as $$
declare
r record;
loopy record;
i integer;
sql text;
begin
for r in select * from cities loop
i := r.id;
sql := 'select city,topic,weight from v_doctopic where city = ' || i;
EXECUTE sql;
return next loopy;
end loop;
return;
end;
$$ language 'plpgsql';

select * from getRowsA() AS foo(city int, topic int, weight numeric)
