The following creates a table, populates it and selects from it using an
EXECUTE. Does that help?

BEGIN;

CREATE TABLE exectest (a integer, b text, PRIMARY KEY (a));
COPY exectest FROM stdin;
1 aaa
2 bbb
3 ccc
\.

CREATE FUNCTION demo_exec_fn() RETURNS boolean AS '
DECLARE
r RECORD;
BEGIN
FOR r IN EXECUTE ''SELECT * FROM exectest''
LOOP
RAISE NOTICE ''a=%, b=%'', r.a, r.b;
END LOOP;
RETURN true;
END
' LANGUAGE plpgsql;

SELECT demo_exec_fn();

COMMIT;
