RE: Syntax error for UPDATE ... RETURNING INTO STRICT

Hi Alexander,

It seems that STRICT is the issue.
But why does your function return a table of boolean in this case ?
As it only updates one record, it would probably be easier to return a boolean only.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION words_toggle_puzzle(
                in_mid     bigint
        ) RETURNS boolean
 AS
$func$
        UPDATE words_moves
        SET puzzle = NOT puzzle
        WHERE mid = in_mid
        RETURNING puzzle;
$func$ LANGUAGE sql;

Subject: Syntax error for UPDATE ... RETURNING INTO STRICT

Good morning,

why does not PostgreSQL 10.11 please like the -

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION words_toggle_puzzle(
                in_mid     bigint
        ) RETURNS table (
                out_puzzle boolean
        ) AS
$func$
        UPDATE words_moves
        SET puzzle = NOT puzzle
        WHERE mid = in_mid
        RETURNING puzzle
        INTO STRICT out_puzzle;
$func$ LANGUAGE sql;
and fails with -

ERROR:  42601: syntax error at or near "INTO"
LINE 11:         INTO STRICT out_puzzle;
                 ^
LOCATION:  scanner_yyerror, scan.l:1128
Thank you
Alex

P.S: Here the table description, with mid being the PK:
