No, example: PostgreSQL 8.4.0 on i486-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc-4.3.real (Debian 4.3.3-13) 4.3.3, 32-bit create table t (i int); create function foo() returns setof t language plpgsql as $$begin return query select * from t; end$$; select foo(); alter table t add v text; alter table t drop i; select foo(); ERROR: 42804: structure of query does not match function result type ПОДРОБНО: Number of returned columns (1) does not match expected column count (2). КОНТЕКСТ: PL/pgSQL function "foo" line 1 at RETURN QUERY РАСПОЛОЖЕНИЕ: validate_tupdesc_compat, pl_exec.c:5143 drop function foo(); \c psql (8.4.0) You are now connected to database "seb". create function foo() returns setof t language plpgsql as $$begin return query select * from t; end$$; select foo(); ERROR: 42804: structure of query does not match function result type ПОДРОБНО: Number of returned columns (1) does not match expected column count (2).
