How do I create a function that returns a set of row;

I can't seem to find the datatype that the return set should be declared as.

You should wait for Postgres 7.3 currently in beta.

In 7.2 you can return a cursor, which gets close and lets you basically
accomplish the goal.

See the PL/pgSQL developer documentation for 7.3 (returning cursors was 
omitted accidentally (?) in the 7.2 documentation).
