options for no multiple rows?

Greets!

Ok, from what I've read (good, bad or indifferent) you can't create a
stored procedure/function and return multiple rows to use in say a
resultset with the following:

Select     a.T1_FILED_1,a.T1_FIELD_2,a.T1_FIELD_3,b.T2_FIELD_1,b.T2_FIELD_2
From T1 a
Inner Join T2 b On a.T1_FIELD_1 = b.T2_FIELD_1
Where a.T1_FIELD_2 = @ParmPassedIn

So my question is, what are my/our alternatives if any?  What could I do
as opposed to putting the above "dynamic" SQL in my app?

I've never used "dynamic" SQL in my apps b/c it always seems to be a pain
to test and maintain as opposed to creating a stored procedure on
something like MS SQL and simply modifying the SP w/out having to
re-compile an app....hopefully anyhow?  ;-)

I've seen quite a few posts about the issue and I'm sure it's a sore topic
when someone brings it up, but I guess my question is what alternatives
does one have?  I've seen lots of replies that state "No, you can't do
that", but I haven't come across any solutions, or perhaps I just don't
know what I should be looking for.

I'd very much like to use PostgreSQL in something a little more serious
than I am now, but I'm not really sure how I'm going to handle the
lack of multiple row issue(s).

Anyone willing to share examples/suggestions/comments on how they get
around the issue?

I can't imagine that if there *would be* 'XX' rows returned that I would
need to create the same stored procedure/function that would only return 1
at a time and call it 'XX' times, but perhaps this is the best I can do?

I thought a while prior to posting this b/c there are things available via
PostgreSQL that other packages couldn't even touch and I can't wait to
really start tinkering around.  I know a lot of blood, sweat and tears
(mostly I'm sure) have gone into this and it really makes one feel bad to
bring up anything negative in regards to what *IS* offered.

Apologies and Best Regards,
