ROWTYPE is problem.

postgres=# CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION "t_func" () RETURNS SETOF "t_table" AS
postgres-# $body$
postgres$# DECLARE
postgres$# rec record;
postgres$# BEGIN
postgres$# FOR rec IN
postgres$# SELECT *
postgres$# FROM t_table
postgres$# WHERE 1=0
postgres$# LOOP
postgres$# RETURN NEXT rec;
postgres$# END LOOP;
postgres$# END;
postgres$# $body$
postgres-# LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' VOLATILE CALLED ON NULL INPUT SECURITY INVOKER;
CREATE FUNCTION
postgres=# select * from t_func();
id | t
