create function
I have installed plpgsql procedural language ok,
I could not get any functions to work.
I tried the most simple function as documented:
CREATE FUNCTION sptest3 (int4) RETURNS int4 AS
'BEGIN
RETURN $1+1;
END;' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
When i call the function from sql
SELECT sptest3(4) AS x;
I get the error:
"NOTICE: plpgsql: ERROR during compile of sptest3 near line 1
"RROR: parse error at or near "
can anybody help?
What version are you using? On a 7.0.2 freebsd machine,
I cut and paste the below function and query and had
no problems.

The message looks just like that, eh? I bet it's unhappy because your
function text contains DOS-style newlines (\r\n) not Unix-style (\n).
7.1 plpgsql will accept \r as whitespace, but current releases don't.
In the meantime, save your script in a not-so-Microsoft-oriented editor.
