Full schema and example:

CREATE TABLE owners_user ( owner_id integer, expertise text, home_form character varying(20), form_count integer, cal_min_hr smallint, cal_max_hr smallint, query_max integer );
CREATE VIEW owners

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION test_view() RETURNS INT AS ' DECLARE BEGIN EXECUTE ''INSERT INTO owners (first_name, last_name, email, login, title, expertise) VALUES (''''Test'''',''''Person'''', ''''[EMAIL PROTECTED]'''', ''''test'''', ''''Tester'''', ''''Testing'''')''; END; ' LANGUAGE PLPGSQL;
When you call test_view() you get:
Error is: FATAL: SPI: improper call to spi_dest_setup server closed the connection unexpectedly This probably means the server terminated abnormally before or while processing the request. The connection to the server was lost. Attempting reset: Succeeded.
Note that inserts work fine from the command line.
