Yes, if you're using PostgreSQL 8.0 or later. Dollar quotes have
nothing to do with the function's language -- they're just another
way to quote a string.

This is the error you'd get if you tried to use dollar quotes in
PostgreSQL 7.4; you'd get a similar error in earlier versions. What
version are you using? What does "SELECT version();" show?
