Dear Sir/Madam,
  My table is :
Attribute |   Type    | Modifier
-----------+-----------+----------
empname   | text      |
salary    | integer   |
last_date | timestamp |
last_name | name      |
My function and trigger is:
create function isFull()
returns opaque as '
  begin
    select count(*) into tmp1 from emp;
    if tmp1.count >= 5 then
      select min(last_date) into tmp2 from emp;
      delete from emp where last_date=tmp2.min;
      drop table tmp2;
    end if;
    drop table tmp1;
  end; '
language 'plpgsql';
create trigger isfull before insert on emp for each row execute procedure 
isFull
();

But my error messages is :
ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "tmp1"

I can finish these steps in psql environment,why it could not work well in 
plpgsql?Can you help me?

                           ^^^^

you didn't declare tmp1. before begin write
declare
tmp1 int4;
