Create Function... ERROR: language "plpgsql" does not exist

[Thomas LeBlanc]

I copied an example from the help:

CREATE FUNCTION somefunc() RETURNS integer AS '
DECLARE
quantity integer := 30;
BEGIN
RAISE NOTICE ''Quantity here is %'', quantity; -- Quantity here is 30
quantity := 50;
--
-- Create a subblock
--
DECLARE
quantity integer := 80;
BEGIN
RAISE NOTICE ''Quantity here is %'', quantity; -- Quantity here is
80
END;

RAISE NOTICE ''Quantity here is %'', quantity; -- Quantity here is 50

RETURN quantity;
END;
' LANGUAGE plpgsql
Ran it is a SQL window from pgAdmin and got this error:

ERROR: language "plpgsql" does not exist

Thanks,
Thomas LeBlanc

You do not have the language installed in the database.

use the createlang function in the bin directory and create the langiage
for the data base i.e.

createlang -d dbname plpgsql

Hi Thomas,

Did you create/insert plpgsql language in your database? I guess not...

Check your database with createlang -l YOUR_DATABASE_NAME. This should
show you the languages installed in your database. In case you don't
have it, just use createlang plplgsql YOUR_DATABASE_NAME. This should
work...
Suggestion, if you are gonna use plpgsql a lot developing in
Postgresql, I suggest that you create the language you need in template1
(createlang LANGUAGE template1). By doing that you will automatically
create the language in your new database when issuing a createdb
NEWDATABASE, because createdb uses template1 as a template to create
your new database...

RTM createlang for more info...

You need to create the plpgsql language in your database first. See
http://www.faqs.org/docs/ppbook/c19610.htm for how to do this.

Hope this helps,
