How does that help with my problem? I seems to discuss returning more
than one row of a table which is not the question I asked.
try to tell your questions more precisely :-)
I want to return more than one value from a procedure, e.g. a string and
an integer.
I think you want to return a record or tabletype.
Not really, since those values could be computed on the fly, they may
not be values in a database.
IIrc you got the answers to that already :-)
Nope.
Well, I was sure. And here it is again (from Tom Lane: )

You've misunderstood this completely. We are not storing anything
essential in the table, we're just using its rowtype to describe the
function's composite-type result.
Personally I would have written the example using a composite type
to make this more clear:
CREATE TYPE test_func_type AS (id int, name text);
CREATE FUNCTION test_func() RETURNS SETOF test_func_type AS $$
SELECT 1, 'me' UNION ALL SELECT 2, 'you'
$$ LANGUAGE sql;
select * from test_func();
id | name
----+------
1 | me
2 | you
(2 rows)

When this isnt what you want, you are out of options I fear.
Maybe you would write an example of how your hypotetical
function should act?
