Hi list,
I would like to test the power of processing of postgresql (and my
server) by insert a large ammount of data on a table I have.
I would like to know how to implement a For... loop . With it I think I
could check the real power of my server.

I tryed a way but it is not working. Please see it:
LOOP;
-- some computations
insert into carga (desc) values ('My Text');
IF count > 1000000 THEN
EXIT; -- exit loop
END IF;
END LOOP;
The postgresql reports the following error:
/
ERROR: syntax error at or near "LOOP"
SQL state: 42601
Character: 1/

As you can see in the manual (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/plpgsql-control-structures.html) you have to remove the ; after the initial LOOP
LOOP
statements
IF i > 1000000 THEN EXIT;
END LOOP;
Or you can try...
WHILE i <= 1000000 LOOP
statements
END LOOP;
Or even... (don't initialize i in this case)
FOR i IN 1 .. 1000000 LOOP
statements
END LOOP;

They are not working well.
Allways the same error.
(if while)
ERROR: syntax error at or near "WHILE"
SQL state: 42601
Character: 1
(if for)
ERROR: syntax error at or near "FOR"
SQL state: 42601
Character: 1
(if loop)
ERROR: syntax error at or near "LOOP"
SQL state: 42601
Character: 1
I installed the pgsql but I don't think it is a problem of language.
What could be wrong ? I am not using functions too. I am using the SQL
tool of PgAdmin III.
Any help would be glad.

You may have a problem in the code just _before_ these lines.

Please post your complete CREATE FUNCTION statement. Error code 42601 refers to some syntax error which probably occurs just before you start looping. To find it I need to see more code.
Please don't mail me directly. Only mail to pgsql-sql@postgresql.org

I quetion one more time. I must have a function ? Isn't another way to
implement it without using functions ?

Not in PostgreSQL. Here's a sample of something similar to what you were doing.
CREATE LANGUAGE plpgsql;
CREATE TABLE carga (
id NUMERIC,
desc_txt TEXT,
PRIMARY KEY (id));
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION for_loop_func (num_iter INTEGER)
RETURNS void AS
$$
DECLARE
iter NUMERIC;
tmp_num NUMERIC;
BEGIN
FOR iter IN 1 .. num_iter
LOOP
-- some computations
tmp_num = iter * 2;
INSERT INTO carga
(id, desc_txt)
VALUES (tmp_num, 'My Text for ' || iter || '*2 = ' || tmp_num);
END LOOP;
RETURN;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
--SELECT for_loop_func(1000000);
SELECT for_loop_func(10);

The syntax you show is plpgsql. You cannot use that without a function.
(The alternative would be to script the bulk insertion client-side,
which I'd think is smarter anyway).
If what you need to do is batch processing of rows to produce other
rows, then maybe you can craft an INSERT .. SELECT query to do it
instead of this row-at-a-time approach.

AFAK you can also use them in eg CREATE TRIGGER and on the psql command prompt.
What are you trying to accomplish. When we understand that, maybe we can point you in the right direction.

Yes, you need a function. SQL doesn't know LOOPs.
And, please, no silly fullquote.

If you want to use plpgsql it needs to be within a function.

Thank you all. The function from Jonah solves my problem.
Just a simple question:
One million of inserctions in *28,8* seconds with this kind of data
(timestamp|character varring (50)) is a good performance ?
I let my questions to DBAs from PostgreSQL.
Sincerely
Ezequias

I don't know, but Jonah's function can be better written using pure SQL,
which should be faster. Something like this:
create table whatever (a text, b int);
insert into whatever
select 'My text from iteration ' || a, a * 2
from generate_series(1, 1000000) a;
I don't claim this works as is, but you should get the hang of it.

I rewritte the Jonah's function to:
FOR iter IN 1 .. num_iter
LOOP
-- some computations
INSERT INTO carga (descricao) VALUES ('CardPass');
END LOOP;
My ID is now() by default
And it was in 23sec
After I changed the insert to:
INSERT INTO carga (id,descricao) VALUES ('2007-03-13
10:20:20','CardPass');
And it was in:
19485ms
Great don't you ?
