I personally would try and avoid variables with quotes round them (not sure
if its even legal). Instead I'd do something like
f_id_addr alias for $1;

Having variables named the same as fields can get confusing (for the parser
as well as people).
See above for how I personally would name

Should be LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
Hope this helps,
