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/
