'8.1+'?? Hmmm, I'm using 8.3. I could use that.

I got the more complex version of the query to work
by backing away from 'plpgsql' as the language and using
'sql' instead.

I then nested (terribly ugly) my select statements to
generate a single SQL query from all. This allows
me to change the output of the query without needing
to define a new set of output 'OUT' parameters each time
I change things.

I have use of the 'OUT' parameters with another set
of functions though. Thanks for that.
