SELECT func(param) FROM some_subselect_with_params; or if you do not have writable CTEs yet and have a dream of calling something like: INSERT INTO some_table_with_data ... RETURNING func(some_generated_field); And, ernestly, if it were useless to have SELECT without INTO in plpgsql, there also would be no PERFORM command in plpgsql...
