In Sybase I am used to the fact that stored procedures can return a
result set to the client. Something like;

create procedure sp_example (@param int) as
begin
select bla
from tablename
where somecolumn = @param
end

(of course in pratice stored procedures get a lot more complex than
this :-)

Is something like this posstible in PostgreSQL?
