You can use refcursors in function too, no need to use procedures. Moreover, you can return from function setof refcursor - table with names of opened cursors so reader will know them without hardcoding.

What about retrieving the cursor from the procedure then iterate through it still within the procedure? More over, what about using a EXECUTE SELECT within the procedure as seen both in geeksforgeeks.org/… ? Am I missing something?
