I think it's related to the plpgsql "RETURNS" and "RETURN" confusion. RETURN can appear between "begin", "end". RETURNS need to specify before "AS". not omit "RETURNS real" would be: CREATE FUNCTION sales_tax(subtotal real, OUT tax real) returns real AS $$ BEGIN tax := subtotal * 0.06; END; $$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
