I wrote for you this:

create or replace function active_transactions_by_db(out _cnt int, out _datname text) returns setof record as
$BODY$
declare
dbName varchar;
activeTransactions integer;
countRec record;
begin
for countRec in select count(1) as cnt, datname from pg_stat_activity group by datname loop
_cnt := countRec.cnt;
_datname := countRec.datname;
return next;
end loop;

return;
end;
$BODY$
language plpgsql;

It works.
If you want lern more about IN and OUT - Parameters, see:
