RE: Syntax error for UPDATE ... RETURNING INTO STRICT

Hi Alexander,

It seems that STRICT is the issue.
But why does your function return a table of boolean in this case ?
As it only updates one record, it would probably be easier to return a boolean only.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION words_toggle_puzzle(
in_mid bigint
) RETURNS boolean
AS
$func$
UPDATE words_moves
SET puzzle = NOT puzzle
WHERE mid = in_mid
RETURNING puzzle;
$func$ LANGUAGE sql;

Subject: Syntax error for UPDATE ... RETURNING INTO STRICT

Good morning,

why does not PostgreSQL 10.11 please like the -

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION words_toggle_puzzle(
in_mid bigint
) RETURNS table (
out_puzzle boolean
) AS
$func$
UPDATE words_moves
SET puzzle = NOT puzzle
WHERE mid = in_mid
RETURNING puzzle
INTO STRICT out_puzzle;
$func$ LANGUAGE sql;
and fails with -

ERROR: 42601: syntax error at or near "INTO"
LINE 11: INTO STRICT out_puzzle;
^
LOCATION: scanner_yyerror, scan.l:1128
Thank you
Alex

P.S: Here the table description, with mid being the PK:
