Function Code is described as:
drop function testfunc();
Create function testfunc()
returns int4 as '
Declare
Query text;
MyRec Record;
DBColName Text;
DBOut Text;
DBCount int4 := 1;
Begin
DBColName := ''X_1'';
For i In 1 ..10
Loop
If (DBCount =1 ) Then
DBColName := ''X_2'';
DBCount :=2;
Else
DBColName := ''X_1'';
DBCount := 1;
End If;
Query := '' Select ''|| DBColName || '' As Field '' || '' From TestTable '';
For MyRec In Execute Query
Loop
Raise Notice '' MyRec.Field = %'',MyRec.Field;
DBOut := MyRec.Field;
Raise Notice ''DBOut = %'',DBOut;
End Loop
End Loop;
Return null;
end;
'language 'plpgsql';

I have a table TestTable(X_1 int4, X_2 Int8);


Error Appeared as:

Jurassik=# select testfunc();
NOTICE: MyRec.Field = 211
NOTICE: DBOut = 211
NOTICE: MyRec.Field = 221
NOTICE: DBOut = 221
NOTICE: MyRec.Field = 231
NOTICE: DBOut = 231
NOTICE: MyRec.Field = 241
NOTICE: DBOut = 241
NOTICE: MyRec.Field = 21
ERROR: type of myrec.field doesn't match that when preparing the plan
