after some digging I had to first create a language plpgsql, then I
changed the function to be as follows:
CREATE FUNCTION no_part_tbl() RETURNS void AS '
DECLARE
v INTEGER := 0;
BEGIN
WHILE v < 100000000 LOOP
INSERT INTO no_part_tbl VALUES
(v, "testing no parts", adddate("1995-01-01",
(rand(v)*36520 % 3652));
v := v + 1;
END LOOP;
END;
' LANGUAGE 'plpgsql';
And it seems to accepted the function finally. SOrry for the waste of
bandwidth and anyones time. I'm not used to this syntax, so it will
take me a bit to get on boad with it.
