Hi All,
I am trying to build a function to insert or update data in one table from
date stored in another table. Eventually I hope to trigger this process based
on data being INSERTed into the original table. I have written the code below
based on the documentation and some help from this list. When I execute the
code I get this error.
ERROR: language "plpgsql" does not exist
What does this mean? How do I correct the error?
Kind Regards,
Keith
PS This is PostgreSQL v7.3.6 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux v3
