RE: BUG #16181: Error Creating Stored Procedures

David,

Thanks for the quick reply.

It is working with BEGIN and END.

The code was generated by pgAdmin4 GUI and I somehow incorrectly assumed that GUI would include BEGIN and END statements.

Thanks for your help.

Bug reference: 16181
Logged by: Shahzad Ahmad

PostgreSQL version: 12.1
Operating system: Ubuntu 18.04.3 LTS
Description:

I tried both pgAdmin GUI and psql using a script file. In both instances i
got the same error.

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE admin.my_test(IN role_id integer DEFAULT 0)
LANGUAGE 'plpgsql'

Not a bug...the documentation shows how to write a pl/pgsql function/stored procedure.

https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/plpgsql-structure.html

Note the "BEGIN" and "END" portions of that syntax diagram are not optional.
