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.
