(4 rows)
My Function
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION testing(TEXT[])
RETURNS INTEGER AS
$BODY$
DECLARE emp_id INTEGER;
BEGIN
SELECT id into emp_id from links e where name = ANY($1);
DELETE FROM links WHERE id = emp_id;
return emp_id;
END
$BODY$
LANGUAGE plpgsql;
Query to call function
SELECT * from testing(ARRAY['PostgreSQL','Google']::TEXT[]);
We pass two records to delete from the links table, But instead of that only one record is deleting.
testing=# select * from links;
id | url | name | description | last_update

Answer 1

SELECT ... INTO only stores the first row in the variable and ignores the rest.
You should declare the function as RETURNS SETOF integer, omit the SELECT and run only the DELETE as detailed in my other answer. Then you can use an SQL function rather than a PL/pgSQL one, which will simplify everything.
