The function written above will never work as you have a mismatch of
parameter and return types, but in answer to your query, the PostgreSQL
docs say:
"When there are OUT or INOUT parameters, the RETURNS clause may be
omitted."
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/sql-createfunction.html)
If you remove the OUT/INOUT parameters, pgAdmin will display the
definition with the RETURNS SETOF clause.
