Hi

I'm trying to declare a variable in PostgreSQL, so I can save some values in
it. After, I want to calculate with this variable.
For example:

declare vp integer;
select price into :vp from article where anr = 1;
vp := vp + 1;
update article set price = :vp where anr = 1;

Is there a posibility to do that without creating a funktion?
Thanks for your answers.

CU Roger
