The funny thing is that the documentation I read about SELECT INTO and RECORD types give the following example, amongst others:
See the section below that on EXECUTE:
The results from SELECT commands are discarded by EXECUTE, and SELECT INTO is not currently supported within EXECUTE. So there is no way to extract a result from a dynamically-created SELECT using the plain EXECUTE command. There are two other ways to do it, however: one is to use the FOR-IN-EXECUTE loop form described in Section 35.7.4, and the other is to use a cursor with OPEN-FOR- EXECUTE, as described in Section 35.8.2.
