Subject: PL/pgSQL examples NOT involving functions
Date: 15 Nov 2001 11:49:12 -0500
Message-ID: <m2adxoget3.fsf@tycho.rlent.pnet> (raw)
How can I write a few lines of PL/pgSQL which do not involve creating
a function? I can find no examples of this in the docs, but say I
would like to do something like
BEGIN
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM foo WHERE idx = 27)
THEN
UPDATE foo SET var='some value' WHERE idx=27;
ELSE
INSERT INTO foo (idx, var) VALUES (27, 'some value');
END IF
END;
