Can you use a simple LOOP?

DECLARE rcrd_data RECORD

FOR rcrd_data IN SELECT tbl_source.first_column,
tbl_source.second_column,
FROM tbl_source
LOOP
-- Now rcrd_data.first_column has data.
END LOOP;

See
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.4/interactive/plpgsql-control-structures.html#PLPGSQL-RECORDS-ITERATING
for more information.

Kind Regards,
Keith

PS Caution, I am still a novice myself.
