You can do this with cursors, but I'm not sure if you still get the
query caching?
CREATE FUNCTION test(refcursor, input varchar) RETURNS refcursor AS $$
BEGIN
OPEN $1 FOR SELECT C.CustomID, C.Name, O.OrderNum
FROM Customers C INNER JOIN Orders O ON C.CustomID=O.CustomID
WHERE C.Name LIKE '%' || input || '%';
RETURN $1;
END
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
Then to use:
BEGIN;
SELECT test('curs', <some input parameter>);
FETCH ALL FROM curs;
END;
